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.

Plants Infused with Luminescence of Fireflies Could Help Reduce Dependence on Artificial Lighting

The 2009 film “Avatar” produced a lush imaginary world, illuminated by glowing, magical plants. Now scientists are working to bring this fascinating vision to life in order to help reduce the dependence on artificial lighting. In ACS’ journal Nano Letters, they report a technique to infuse plants with the luminescence of fireflies.
