So a solid lipid nanoparticle (Pfizer vaccine) can be used as a microlens array for optogenetic stimulation of the brain.
Praying for President Donald J Trump & all those souls dedicating themselves to saving the world from those who seek to destroy us.

Mat 5:13
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hide
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house

And our hope for you is steadfast, because we know that as you are partakers of the sufferings, so also you will partake of the consolation.

A wreath is an assortment of flowers, leaves, fruits, twigs, or various materials that is constructed to form a circle. In English-speaking countries, wreaths are used typically as household ornaments, most commonly as an Advent and Christmas decoration.

Whispering gallery mode lasing in mesomorphic liquid crystal microdroplets - Soft Matter (RSC Publishing)
In recent years, investigation on the non-display applications of liquid crystals has increased considerably. One of the emerging applications is whispering gallery mode (WGM) lasing. Here, we report experimental studies on the morphology and WGM lasing in nematic (N), smectic-A (SmA) and smectic-C ..
https://pubs.rsc.org/en/content/articlelanding/2019/sm/c9sm01132cIt is perhaps surprising that something as fragile as a microscopic droplet could possibly form a laser. In this article we will review some of the underpinning physics as to how this might be possible, and then examine the state of the art in the field. The technology to create and manipulate droplets will be examined, as will the different classes of droplet lasers. We discuss the rapidly developing fields of droplet biolasers, liquid crystal laser droplets and explore how droplet lasers could give rise to new bio and chemical sensing and analysis. The challenges that droplet lasers face in becoming robust devices, either as sensors or as photonic components in the lab on chip devices, is assessed.
Optogenetics has become a widely used technique in neuroscience research, capable of controlling neuronal activity with high spatiotemporal precision and cell-type specificity. Expressing exogenous opsins in the selected cells can induce neuronal activation upon light irradiation, and the activation depends on the power of incident light. However, high optical power can also lead to off-target neuronal activation or even cell damage. Limiting the incident power, but enhancing power distribution to the targeted neurons, can improve optogenetic efficiency and reduce off-target effects. Here, the use of optical lenses made of polystyrene microspheres is demonstrated to achieve effective focusing of the incident light of relatively low power to neighboring neurons via photonic jets.
The presence of microspheres significantly localizes and enhances the power density to the target neurons both in vitro and ex vivo, resulting in increased inward current and evoked action potentials. In vivo results show optogenetic stimulation with microspheres that can evoke significantly more motor behavior and neuronal activation at lowered power density. In all, a proof-of-concept of a strategy is demonstrated to increase the efficacy of optogenetic neuromodulation using pulses of reduced optical power.
