A new type of flat, ultrathin lens designed to be free of chromatic aberrations has been developed by researchers in the US. The device has a variety of potential applications, from ultralight imaging ...

A team of applied physicists at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS)has managed to create an ultrathin, flat lens that is only a mere 60 nanometers thick. Despite being so ...

Ultra-thin flat lenses suitable for photography are one step closer after a team of researchers at Harvard University made a major leap forward with its prototype wafer-thin flat lens. The new lens ...

A new generation of optical lenses is being developed and tested at multiple universities and companies worldwide. These lenses, known as metalenses, are silicon films a thousand times thinner than a ...

(Nanowerk News) In the future, camera lenses could be thousands of times thinner and significantly less resource-intensive to manufacture. Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden, ...

Researchers in Israel have made a new type of contact lens that can correct a form of red–green colour blindness known as deuteranomaly. By incorporating plasmonic metasurfaces into standard contact ...
