Although manufacturers are constantly trying to make smartphones thinner and lighter, they're limited by the phones' curved glass camera lenses. Now, however, researchers have developed a flat lens ...

Engineers at the University of Utah have developed a new method of creating optics which are flat and ultra-thin, yet can still bend light to a single point like traditional lenses. It's hoped the ...

Caltech engineers have developed a new camera design that replaces the lenses with an ultra-thin optical phased array (OPA). The OPA does computationally what lenses do using large pieces of glass: it ...

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 ...

Scientists are developing a new ultra-thin, flat and distortion-free lens which could lead to smartphones as thin as a credit card. Scientists are developing a new ultra-thin, flat and distortion-free ...

(Nanowerk News) Scientists have created the world's thinnest lens, one two-thousandth the thickness of a human hair, opening the door to flexible computer displays and a revolution in miniature ...

The thin-lens formula proved comparable to the ray-tracing method in IOL power calculations in normal eyes and eyes that underwent refractive surgery. Preoperative prediction of IOL positioning plays ...

Light of different colors travels at different speeds in different materials and structures. This is why we see white light split into its constituent colors after refracting through a prism, a ...

Astronomers have discovered more than 5,000 planets outside of the solar system to date. The grand question is whether any of these planets are home to life. To find the answer, astronomers will ...

Kyocera has unveiled a triple lens AI depth camera capable of recognizing semi-transparent, thin, and fine line-shaped objects that are difficult to ...
