Tiny salt-grain-sized camera snaps hi-res full-color images

Researchers at Princeton and the the University of Washington have developed a tiny camera, the size of a grain of salt, which can snap sharp, full-color images. It’s made with a metasurface that captures light, which could be scaled up to turn entire … Continue reading Tiny salt-grain-sized camera snaps hi-res full-color images

Imaging breakthrough highlights atoms in highest resolution ever

Researchers at Cornell University have snapped the clearest images of atoms ever taken. Aided by new noise-reducing algorithms, the images are of such high resolution that, the team says, they almost reach the ultimate limit possible.Continue ReadingCa… Continue reading Imaging breakthrough highlights atoms in highest resolution ever
