Ground-Breaking Metalens Paves Way for New Possibilities in Virtual and Augmented Reality

Metalenses are flat surfaces using nanostructures for the purpose of focusing light, and they look propitious to transform the field of optics by substituting the curved, bulky lenses adopted at present in optical devices with a simple, flat surface. However, the metalenses are restricted by the spectrum of light they can focus optimally.
