If you're fed up with the high cost of camera lenses, help may be at hand. Ari Jaaksi, a photographer in Finland, built his own lens for a mere 8 euros ($8.72/£6.71). Naturally, such a lens isn't ...

The painstaking process of designing optical lenses for imaging systems is poised for a dramatic transformation thanks to a groundbreaking AI-powered method developed by researchers at King Abdullah ...

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 ...

Tunability in lenses typically requires bulky components, but researchers have created a metasurface lens that uses a piezoelectric thin film to change focal length when a small voltage is applied.

WASHINGTON — Researchers have developed a way to create freeform optical components by shaping a volume of curable liquid polymer. The new method is poised to enable faster prototyping of customized ...

Optical metamaterials are ready for initial commercial deployment and will command a market worth several billion dollars by 2030. Those are two of the main conclusions from the latest market report ...
