gives formula to show if a point is inside a cylinder. It is based on finding a rotation that maps the cylinder axis onto a cartesian axis, and then calculate the distance from the axis.

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The controlled rotation of micro- and nanoscale objects plays a crucial role in sensing, imaging, biomedicine, and manufacturing. Micro- and nanorotors have proved effective in ...

Controlling and manipulating the polarization state of a light beam is crucial in applications ranging from optical sensing to optical communications, both in the classical and quantum regime, and ...
