Lenses are crucial to light-enabled technologies. Conventional lenses have been perfected to achieve near-diffraction-limited resolution and minimal chromatic aberrations. However, such lenses are ...

Applied physicists in the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have demonstrated a new way to structure light in custom, repeatable, three-dimensional patterns, ...

Laboratory of Behavioral Ecology and Evolution at Seoul National University Light and foraging ants seem totally unrelated, but they have one thing in common: they travel along time-reducing paths.

The invisible light spectrum, encompassing ultraviolet and infrared wavelengths, has long beguiled the human eye. A revolutionary lens technology is now making this unseen light accessible, heralding ...

The famous double-slit experiment, which demonstrated that light is both a wave and a particle, has been performed using “slits in time”. The techniques involved present a new way to manipulate light ...

A versatile, professional-grade lens with superior light-gathering capability, though there's a compromise to be made in terms of weight. Chromatic aberration and coma are significantly corrected. Why ...
