But there's a catch: The researchers successfully focused light with this lens, which they call a "metalens," but on an extremely small, nanoparticle scale (nanoparticles can be thousands of times thinner than a human hair). While an impressive feat, major tech companies like Apple and Samsung aren't anywhere close to putting this technology into forthcoming phones and cameras. Read more...
