a shot with a 500 watts halogen lamp,with this shot, it leaves a white spot on my vision..dont dare to do this..it will destroy your vision.

Elytra was a responsive shelter; new components of the structure were built on-site.
The pavilion tested a possible future for architectural and engineering design, exploring how new robotics technologies might transform how buildings are designed and built. The design drew on research into lightweight construction principles found in nature. It is inspired by the filament structures of the shells of flying beetles, known as elytra.
Made of glass and carbon fibre, each component of the canopy was produced using a robotic winding technique developed by the designers. Unlike other fabrication methods, this does not require moulds and can produce an infinite variety of spun shapes, while reducing waste to a minimum.

Detail photo of a small glass tube filled with argon gas that contains a twisted nanocarbon in the Kotov Lab at the North Campus Research Center of the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Wednesday, December 18, 2024. The nanocarbon is being supplied with voltage from a precision voltage supply machine that allows researchers to finely control the voltage applied to the twisted filament, which in turn regulates the filament’s heating temperature with high accuracy.
Researchers from the Kotov Lab have found that submicrometer twisted filaments made from materials like nanocarbon or metals can produce strong chiral infrared photons, especially in the wavelength range of 500 to 300 nanometers. The twisted filaments emit light that is significantly brighter, up to 100 times more bright than other similar light emitters. The special helical shape of the filaments helps in controlling the type of twisted light they emit. Additionally, coating these nanocarbons with durable, transparent ceramics results in bright and adjustable chiral emitters capable of functioning at temperatures that were previously thought to be unreachable. This advancement opens new possibilities in the field of chiral photonics and high-temperature applications.
