Controlling Light With Sound: New Liquid Camera Lens as Simple as Water and Vibration
Monday, September 22, 2008 - 10:21
in Physics & Chemistry
New miniature image-capturing technology powered by water, sound, and surface tension could lead to smarter and lighter cameras in everything from cell phones and automobiles to autonomous robots and miniature spy planes. Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute have designed and tested an adaptive liquid lens that captures 250 pictures per second and requires considerably less energy to operate than competing technologies.
