In a new series, optics.org gives you details of the Top 10 most read stories on our site from the previous month.
We believe that optics.org's in-depth coverage of optics industry breakthroughs is the best available and our tens of thousands of unique visitors would seem to agree with us.
Despite the summer holidays (for those of you living in the Northern Hemisphere) August was a bumper month for news from the optics and related sectors.
Our report on MIT's development of a "lensless mirror", with its diverse applications in microscopy, attracted the greatest interest but other core areas of optics innovation were not far behind: you are also clearly hungry for news about solar cells, medical applications and disk lasers.
And contrary to some reports about Internet users disregarding news more than a few hours old, some of our Top 10 items are still attracting thousands of viewings three or four years since their first publication.
So, if you didn't catch them the first time round, here are August's Top 10 most read news reports (don't forget to keep checking us because new items go up every day).
optics.org's Top 10 in August
• Lensless mirror array focuses light with subwavelength resolution
• Thin-disk laser beats power record
• Triple-junction solar cells enter the mainstream
• Concrete casts new light in dull rooms
• Lasers tackle radioactive waste
• Tiny motor shakes up camera phone market
• Optical microscope reveals single proteins
• Space awaits thin-disc source
