A novel spiral-shaped lens maintains clear focus regardless of distance or lighting conditions. The France-based team that developed it says it’s akin to multiple lenses all in one, and could be an ophthalmology and imaging game-changer.
Researchers at Purdue University have already been addressing existing challenges with thermal imaging—namely, significant information loss that results in blurry images. But now, the team is using a meta-optics-based approach to go even further.
Studying new states of nonlinear systems, an international team of researchers is looking at a new concept—a breathing soliton laser—to explore the complex synchronization dynamics of nonlinear systems with multiple frequencies.
