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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

They’re like living feather dusters whose mouths can see you coming. The simplest animal eyes consist of light-sensitive ...

Using the eyes of insects such as dragonflies and houseflies as models, a team of bioengineers at University of California, Berkeley, has created a series of artificial compound eyes. These eyes can ...

A new humanmade version of an insect’s compound eye could perform like the real thing. Because of its pinhead size and anticipated low cost, the eye is promising for many applications, its inventors ...

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 ...

A newly created biologically inspired compound eye is helping scientists understand how insects use their compound eyes to sense an object and its trajectory with such speed. The compound eye could ...

Microscopy revealed the stunning compound structure in trilobite eyes. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Trilobites — those ...

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.

3D polymer structures are packed together to create an artificial eye. Scientists in the US have made the first artificial eye using 3D polymer structures. The eye, which is made from individual ...
