Scientists have long thought that insects with compound eye systems couldn’t see the world as clearly as animals sporting eyeballs with singular lenses. But new research indicates that this might not ...

Insects have much better vision and can see in far greater detail than previously thought, a new study from the University of Sheffield has revealed. Scientists have long believed insects would not ...

Scientists in the US have made the first artificial eye using 3D polymer structures. The eye, which is made from individual "ommatidia" -- or single lenses -- arranged in a dome shape, is similar in ...

A team of scientists from Stanford University has discovered a method of constructing perovskite solar cells with enhanced durability by taking inspiration from the honeycomb structure of insect eyes.

If you look at the eyes of a person in a portrait by a master painter, they seem to follow you as you move around the room. Some insects give us the same feeling of being watched when you look at them ...

An insect's compound eye is an engineering marvel: high resolution, wide field of view, and incredible sensitivity to motion, all in a compact package. Now, a new digital camera provides the best-ever ...

(Nanowerk News) The compound eyes found in insects and some sea creatures are marvels of evolution. There, thousands of lenses work together to provide sophisticated information without the need for a ...

Packing tiny solar cells together, like micro-lenses in the compound eye of an insect, could help scientists overcome a major roadblock to the development of perovskite photovoltaics. Packing tiny ...

Copying the human lens takes robotic technology a long-way; however, the compound eyes of insects provides a different level of visualization when it comes to peripheral vision. Other advantages that ...
