Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

Researchers have cracked a fundamental optical challenge: how to control both angle and wavelength of light independently—a problem that’s limited imaging and display technologies for years. By ...

Meta-optics is a rapidly emerging field that combines the principles of metamaterials and optical engineering to control and manipulate light in unprecedented ways. It involves the design and ...

Photonics and optics — the fields of light — are like the colors of the rainbow. There are measurable differences, but no one draws a heavy black line between them. Through studying the behavior and ...

Follow along as Machine Design interviews John Ellis, an entrepreneur, inventor and founder of Massachusetts-based engineering consulting firm Optics for Hire. The Optics for Hire team—a group of ...
