Multi-photon lithography and optical tweezers are among the tools driving a new generation of 3D printing that will allow multifunctional devices to be fabricated in a single processing step, explain ...
Researchers have developed a new 3D printing method called blurred tomography that can rapidly produce microlenses with commercial-level optical quality. The new method may make it easier and faster ...
A 3D printing enthusiast has made a cute, functional lo-fi digital camera using an optical sensor salvaged from a discarded ...
(a) The schematic of the AOSS. The laser beam is deflected by inertial-free acousto-optic scanning. The wavefront of deflected laser is aberration-free due to the AODy being driven by a non-linear ...
A hybrid organic-inorganic polymer resin enables the three-dimensional (3D) printing of nanoscale optical-grade glass at temperatures roughly half of what other approaches require, researchers report.
It wasn't too long ago that 3D printing was perceived as a thing of the far-off future. Just take yourself back to 2001 when "the future of palaeontology" was presented to movie-goers when a ...
The demand for disposable miniature imaging platforms (DMIPs) is growing rapidly. Used for commercial, scientific, medical, and educational purposes, DMIPs have numerous applications but can be ...
