Researchers from the University of Konstanz have studied how insect brains take in complex light stimuli and process them in ...

The optics in future camera phones and surveillance cameras could be heavily influenced by the eyes and brains of insects. New research published in Science Advances suggests that building microlenses ...

When a man in his mid-50s living in New Delhi, India first noticed some mild irritation in his right eye, he figured it would pass. But after it persisted for ten days, he thought back to an unlucky ...

About five years ago, a bizarre idea occurred to me. At the time, I was designing complex electronic circuits to mimic a small portion of an insect brain. These circuits would be created on a tiny ...

A vision technology startup has developed a pair of smart glasses that clear up spotty vision. Designed for people experiencing macular degeneration—the leading cause of vision loss among people over ...

Most optical instruments use lenses, mirrors or prisms to coax rays of light. This system works all right for microscopes and telescopes but not for the long, flexible probes (gastroscopes and broncho ...
