Ggenerating 3,070 phase-coherent optical vortices simultaneously with a peak power of 58 MW

"limited to low-power, overcome using multibeam interference architecture rather than delicate spatial light modulators... inherently robust/ scalable to any laser power (relies on interference)... high-energy industrial tools: nanoprinting chiral nanostructures onto copper surfaces, 3,070 nanoscalpels simultaneously rapidly fabricating water repellent, perfect light absorbing (solar panels), or unique medical surface properties... each carries orbital angular momentum exerting physical torque"
