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 ...

A research team has recreated the evolution of the eye in a physics simulation. The results show why nature chose such ...

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 ...

The USAF is working on a fly-like artificial compound eye that could one day be used for seekers on missiles as well as other targeting systems. This is hardly the first time the DoD has looked to ...

Robots are getting down to the size of insects, so it seems only natural that they should be getting insect eyes. A consortium of European researchers has developed the artificial Curved Artificial ...

An interdisciplinary team of computer scientists and engineers, led by John Rogers of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, has succeeded in building the first digital cameras that mimic the ...

(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 ...

The Subaru Telescope in Hawai‘i is adding a new instrument to its arsenal, one that will observe the cosmos through a compound eye. The compound eye will allow Subaru to observe about 2,400 objects in ...
