A fundamental assumption of physics is toppled: even extremely high-energy radiation is refracted in suitable materials such as silicon or gold Optical instruments like telescopes and microscopes are ...

Thinner, lighter high-index lenses are especially recommended if you have a strong eyeglass prescription for nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism. High-Index Lenses 1- Thinner. Because of ...

Rigid gas permeable lenses are usually the lenses of choice after RK. They provide good visual acuity and tear exchange, they move well upon the cornea, and they allow high oxygen transmissibility to ...

Imagine a lens less than a millimeter thick that can make 3D images float in mid-air. This could change how we see displays.

Save guides, add subjects and pick up where you left off with your BBC account. Light is refracted when it enters a material like water or glass. Depending on the density of the material, light will ...

Researchers are making progress toward a “perfect lens” that will be able to resolve an organelle assembling a protein or a virus attacking a cell. From ribosomes assembling proteins to viruses ...

A research team has developed tiny optical elements from metal nanoparticles and a polymer that one day could replace traditional refractive lenses to realize portable imaging systems and ...
