Using 3D printing and porous silicon, researchers at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed compact, visible wavelength achromats that are essential for miniaturized and ...

A research team has developed a small optical lens, only a few millimeters in size, whose refractive behavior changes in the presence of gas. This 'intelligent' behavior of the micro-lens is enabled ...

Schneider Optics introduced the iPro Lens System offering interchangeable wide-angle, telephoto, and fish-eye lens options specially designed for iPhone 4 and 4S. The iPro lenses enable dramatic ...

A fundamental assumption of physics is toppled: even extremely high-energy radiation is refracted in suitable materials such as silicon or gold Optical instruments like telescopes and microscopes are ...

Researchers are making progress toward a “perfect lens” that will be able to resolve an organelle assembling a protein or a virus attacking a cell. From ribosomes assembling proteins to viruses ...
