Scientists are reporting development of a revolutionary new lens—flat, distortion-free, so small that more than 1,500 would fit across the width of a human hair—capable in the future of replacing lenses in applications ranging from cell phones to cameras to fiber-optic communication systems. The advance, which could lead to smart phones as thin as a credit card, appears in ACS' journal Nano Letters.
