Engineers have designed a wide-angle lens that is completely flat. It is the first flat fisheye lens to produce crisp, 180-degree panoramic images. To capture panoramic views in a single shot ...

However, to create larger, cheaper and efficient flat light sources, the fabrication of high-performance s-LEDs on amorphous glass substrates would be required, which remains a scientific challenge.

"We've built a very cool flat optical device that appears entirely transparent—like a simple piece of glass—until you shine a beam of light with the correct wavelength onto it, when the device ...

For centuries, lenses have worked the same way: curved glass or plastic bending light to bring images into focus. But traditional lenses have a major drawback—the more powerful they need to be ...

Mirrors like this can now be made from a single layer of atoms Mirrors are usually made from flat surfaces of metal or coated glass – but now they can even be made from a few hundred atoms. Jun ...

Dublin, Jan. 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Global Flat Glass Market Size, Segments, Outlook, and Revenue Forecast 2022-2028 by Product Type, Technology, End-user and Region" report has been ...

But the glass lenses take up space and it is difficult to make them ... “Metasurfaces work in a way that nanostructures are placed in patterns on a flat surface and become receivers for light. ... Bio ...
