NWO Physics 2025 was a great success: We have presented two posters, a talk, a photo, and a wavefront shaping demo setup to 1500 physicists!

Here is a picture of the demo:

Thanks to everyone for the nice interactions*, and we hope to see you next year (again)!

* Well, except for that interaction between the truck and our car at the tank station 🙁
