Ambient light alters refraction in 2D material: Researchers find effect that could aid 3D displays, virtual reality, self-driving vehicles – Science Daily
Microscopic crystals in tantalum disulfide have a starring role in what could become a hit for 3D displays, virtual reality and even self-driving vehicles.

Microscopic crystals in tantalum disulfide have a starring role in what could become a hit for 3D displays, virtual reality and even self-driving vehicles.A two-dimensional array of the material has unique optical characteristics that can be controlled in ambient conditions and under general illumination, according to engineer Gururaj Naik and graduate student Weijian Li of Rice’s Brown School of Engineering.
When they pull a two-dimensional sliver off a bulk sample (with that tried-and-true to…
