Physicists at ETH Zurich have developed a lens that can transform infrared light into visible light by halving the wavelength of incident light. The study is published in Advanced Materials. Lenses ...

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 ...

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 ...

Traditional cameras—even those on the thinnest of cell phones—cannot be truly flat due to their optics: lenses that require a certain shape and size in order to function. At Caltech, engineers have ...

Researchers have demonstrated the first planar lens that works with high efficiency within the visible spectrum of light -- covering the whole range of colors from red to blue. The lens can resolve ...

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 ...

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 ...

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