Scientists have developed an impossibly thin telescope lens that addresses a key astronomical challenge in a new study funded ...

Conventional curved lenses, which direct light by refraction in glass or plastic, are often bulky and heavy, offering only limited control of light waves. Metasurfaces, in contrast, are flat and ...

The dream of a flat, lightweight telescope lens, where microscopic etchings precisely refract different wavelengths of light, ...

The study, "Color astrophotography with a 100 mm-diameter f/2 polymer flat lens," appears in Applied Physics Letters. This technology could transform astrophotography imaging systems ...

ABSTRACT: We present an ab-initio study of the mechanical properties and spin-dependent Density of States (DOS) of the iron pnictide compound CaFe2As2 at ground state. Ground state energy calculations ...

Coauthors include fellow Menon Lab members Alexander Ingold and Monjurul Meem, Department of Physics & Astronomy’s Tanner Obray and Paul Ricketts, and Nicole Brimhall of Oblate Optics. The researchers ...

Imagine navigating a virtual reality with contact lenses or operating your smartphone underwater: This and more could soon be ...

I’ve been wearing contact lenses for over two decades; to find the best contact lenses for different vision needs, I tapped into my own experience and also relied on the expert insights of ...

The study was published in Applied Physics Letters. The researchers demonstrated the capabilities of their flat lens with test images of the sun and moon. Image Credit: Menon Lab. Lenses have ...

A revolutionary immersive mixed reality experience called "Quantum Lens" that uses a state-of-the art Apple Vision Pro ...
