Infrared light passes through the metal lens and is converted into violet light and focused in a focal point due to the material and the special surface structures—enlarged in the magnifying glass.

A completely flat, ultrathin lens can focus different wavelengths of light at the same point, achieving instant color correction in one extremely thin, miniaturized device. Most lenses are, by ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new nanostructured material makes it possible to replace bulky lenses and other optical devices with a thin sheet of material such as silicon. The advance, described in the journal Science, could ...

In the future, camera lenses could be thousands of times thinner and significantly less resource-intensive to manufacture. Researchers now present a new technology for making the artificial materials ...

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 ...

Contact lenses get pretty thin nowadays, but they’ve got nothing on a new lens from scientists at Stanford and the University of Amsterdam. The team has created the world’s thinnest lens, measuring ...

Researchers from Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden have demonstrated technology that could make it possible to produce ultra-thin camera lenses made from artificial materials known as ...

(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, ...
