Ultra-Thin Lenses That Make Infrared Light Visible

April Joy Jovita

Physicists at ETH Zurich have developed an ultra-thin lens capable of converting infrared light into visible wavelengths. This breakthrough, achieved using lithium niobate metasurfaces, could revolutionize imaging technology by enabling compact, high-performance optical devices. How Metalenses Work Traditional lenses rely on curved glass to bend light toward a focal point, but metalenses use nanoscale structures ...

Rewilding with Code? The Dire Wolf’s Return & The Future of Conservation

Jan Otte

Romulus and Remus, two snow-white canids with powerful shoulders and wide jaws, look like something out of myth. In a way, they are. Born in the fall of 2024 through cutting-edge genetic engineering, they are the first living examples of what scientists believe to be true dire wolves in over 10,000 years. The species once ...
