Researchers in the US have shown how liquid crystals can be used to create compound lenses similar to those found in insects. The lenses produce sets of images with different focal lengths, a property ...

Domestic researchers developed a camera system that mimics the structure of insect compound eyes. This technology can capture fast-moving objects even in nearly dark environments. It is expected to ...

The field of biomimetic imaging systems and artificial compound eyes represents a fusion of biological inspiration and advanced engineering to develop compact, high-performance visual devices. These ...

The compound eyes of insects can detect fast-moving objects in parallel and, in low-light conditions, enhance sensitivity by integrating signals over time to determine motion. Inspired by these ...

Bugs, the bane of Sunday afternoon picnics, are opening a new horizon for researchers who are mimicking some of their more extraordinary attributes in a wave of research that may save lives in the ...

An international team of researchers from MIT, Rice University, and Lund University has simulated the evolution of the eye, demonstrating that the diversity of eye shapes in nature is not a ...
