Camera the Size of a Gran of Salt Performs Beyond its Scale

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Researchers at Princeton University and the University of Washington (UW) designed a nanosize camera, no bigger than a grain of salt, that produces images comparable to those produced by a traditional lens setup more than 500,000 times larger than the nanosize device. To build a high-quality, ultracompact imager, the researchers devised a machine learning approach that allows the imager to learn a metasurface physical structure along with a neural feature-based image reconstruction algorithm. The researchers used neural nano-optics for end-to-end learning. They found that,...Read full article

    nano
    An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
