Camera lens is 2,000 times thinner than human hair

Scientists at the Australian National University (ANU) have successfully developed a camera lens that is 2,000 times thinner than human hair.

This lens has a thickness of only 6.3 nm, much thinner than the previous 50 nm lens. Researchers say they can use this ultra-thin lens for revolutionary applications in medicine, science and technology, or can be used to create curved computer screens. .

According to Business Insider, researchers have created the world's smallest optical lens with several layers of MoS2 (Molybdenum Disulfide), a graphite-like material with a thickness of 6.3 nm. According to scientists, MoS2 is the key to future growth.

Dr. Lu, head of ANU's Nano-Mechanics Systems Laboratory (NEMS), said MoS2 is the perfect material for creating flexible displays in the future due to their flexible electronic specifications. . In other words, this is an excellent crystal, because it can exist at high temperatures and can emit photons - quantum particles of electromagnetic and light fields as well as all forms of electromagnetic radiation . .

Thanks to their ability to work with light flow at atomic scale , they open up great expectations for ever-smaller optical components to integrate into advanced equipment in the future.
