Imagine 50 or 100 lenses, all of different focal lengths, all aimed at a high-density square sensor.

Tiny new lenses, smaller than a hair, could transform phone and drone cameras

Scientists have developed a new multi-layered metalens design that could revolutionize portable optics in devices like phones, drones, and satellites. By stacking metamaterial layers instead of relying on a single one, the team overcame fundamental limits in focusing multiple wavelengths of...
