Scientists have long thought that insects with compound eye systems couldn’t see the world as clearly as animals sporting eyeballs with singular lenses. But new research indicates that this might not ...

An interdisciplinary team of computer scientists and engineers, led by John Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has succeeded in building the first digital cameras that mimic the ...

A camera smaller than a fingernail can now see what most high-speed cameras miss. Inspired by the eyes of insects, scientists have created a tiny, powerful device that captures fast-moving scenes in ...

A breakthrough technology has emerged to fundamentally solve the camera protrusion/thickness issue, which has been a ...

The Subaru Telescope in Hawai‘i is adding a new instrument to its arsenal, one that will observe the cosmos through a compound eye. The compound eye will allow Subaru to observe about 2,400 objects in ...

WASHINGTON -- If you've ever tried to swat a fly, you know that insects react to movement extremely quickly. A newly created biologically inspired compound eye is helping scientists understand how ...

A new humanmade version of an insect’s compound eye could perform like the real thing. Because of its pinhead size and anticipated low cost, the eye is promising for many applications, its inventors ...
