Abstract
I followed the news with great excitement this week when the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) unveiled a remarkable advancement – a digital laser! This development has been hailed as a "game-changer" that will have applications and impact many fields. (I won't be delving into the digital laser and how it functions here, but the Mail and Guardian's article on the announcement gives a nice short overview of what the laser is and its huge potential). In short, in terms of science and innovation, the research into the digital laser has paid off and it represents a big win for South Africa.
