Flat ‘metalenses’ may soon redefine industries that rely on the current optical technology largely based on conventional curved lenses. The latest breakthrough churned out from one of Harvard University’s tech labs can magnify objects with 30% greater and more focused sharpness than most top-end microscopes.
A flat lens created with titanium dioxide by a team of Harvard researchers can revolutionize optical technology and lead to the manufacture of smaller cameras and telescopes.
