Researchers have been able to create a new camera that doesn't require focusing using a single lens that is very thin. The technology has significant benefits over traditional cameras, like those used ...

Using a single lens that is about one-thousandth of an inch thick, researchers have created a camera that does not require focusing. The technology offers considerable benefits over traditional ...

Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a new ...

Lenses are used to bend and focus light. Normal lenses rely on their curved shape to achieve this effect, but physicists have made a flat lens of only three atoms thick which relies on quantum effects ...

A flat lens that allows a camera's focus to be maintained for objects separated by distances of up to six meters could offer benefits to smartphones and mobile devices, including the potential removal ...

Researchers at the University of Utah have developed an entirely new type of lens that is thin and flat, yet has an extreme depth of focus compared to traditional lens designs. A single flat lens can ...

For centuries, telescopes have relied oncurved glass lenses to bend light and bring the cosmos into focus. While effective, ...

(Nanowerk News) Lenses are used to bend and focus light. Normal lenses rely on their curved shape to achieve this effect, but physicists from the University of Amsterdam and Stanford University have ...
