A revolutionary immersive mixed reality experience called "Quantum Lens" that uses a state-of-the art Apple Vision Pro headset to overlay the abstract ...

"They're so rare, and they're incredibly useful scientifically," said Conor O'Riordan of the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics.

The first telescopes refracted light, and today reflectors dominate, but there is a third way to make light focus, and it ...

The technology behind shades has changed over the centuries. From Inuit snow goggles to aviators to polarized sunglasses.

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 ...

Pioneered by Italian ophthalmologist Benedetto Strampelli in the early 1960s, tooth-in-eye surgery is intended to minimize ...

For centuries, cameras and telescopes have relied on curved glass or plastic lenses to bend light and bring images into focus ...

For centuries, telescopes have relied on curved lenses and mirrors to observe the Universe. A team of researchers has recently developed a flat, lightweight lens capable of capturing precise color ...

Enter Rajesh Menon and his team at the U. Their new flat lens offers the same light-bending power as traditional curved lenses while avoiding the color distortions of FZPs. "Our computational ...
