DigiLens, of Sunnyvale, California, US, has developed a liquid crystal-based lens that provides customized diffraction gratings depending on which of its layers are 'switched on'. The application ...

[The Thought Emporium] has been fascinated by holograms for a long time, and in all sorts of different ways. His ultimate goal right now is to work up to creating holograms using chocolate, but along ...

(Nanowerk News) To design and improve energy storage materials, smart devices, and many more technologies, researchers need to understand their hidden structure and chemistry. Advanced research ...

Researchers have developed a new and improved version of electron diffraction that offers advanced and unique experimental instrumentation for studying particle acceleration to researchers from all ...

Flat lenses offer a way to minimize the optical aberrations and astigmatisms that conventional spherical lenses can be prone to, and can potentially open up new applications that traditional lens are ...

US engineers have succeeded in creating a near-perfect ‘superlens’ that uses the principles of metamaterials to overcome conventional diffraction limits. The lenses could be used in ...

With the development of photonic chips and nano-optics, the old ground glass lenses can't keep up in the race toward miniaturization. In the search for a suitable replacement, a team from the ...
