For over 400 years, curved glass has shaped how we seeβfrom smartphone cameras to space telescopes. But that age might be ending. πποΈ
Scientists have just printed a dual-sided, factory-scale βmetalensβ that bends light without any curvature at all. Using nanostructures smaller than a human hair, this breakthrough allows one wafer-thin lens to see two infrared worlds at once π₯π«οΈβand do so with perfection limited only by the laws of physics. β‘
This episode explores how metaoptics could transform everything from autonomous cars to satellite vision, and why the future of seeingβ¦ might be completely flat. πͺπ
π§ Tune in to uncover how engineers are merging old-school glass with futuristic nanotech to make lenses smarter, lighter, and sharper than ever.
