Physicists in the US have made the first ultrathin flat lens. Thanks to its flatness, the device eliminates optical aberrations that occur in conventional lenses with spherical surfaces. As a result, ...

His photographs show scientists and experiments, large physics facilities and tiny devices, enthusiastic crowds of conference participants and lone researchers absorbed in thought. For almost half a ...

New research from the Complexity Science Hub (CSH) shows why widely used algorithms for measuring economic complexity produce trustworthy results and how these tools may benefit diverse areas such as ...

ZEISS' new CinCraft LensCore plugin launches June 1 and uses GPU-accelerated ray tracing to bring real lens physics such as bokeh, distortion, and vignetting into Nuke compositing. ZEISS CinCraft ...

The idea of having images and text streamed live across your contact lenses has been used in many a Hollywood film. Now an international team of researchers has developed the first working prototype ...

Google updated its search engine and Lens tool with new features to help you visualize and solve problems in more difficult subjects like geometry, physics, trigonometry and calculus. The update ...

Light is refracted when it enters a material like water or glass. Depending on the density of the material, light will reduce in speed as it travels through, causing it to change direction. Ray ...
