Providing a surface figure of λ/8 RMS and a surface roughness of less than 50Å RMS, these precision mirrors are designed for low scatter in the visible spectrum

New method is the first to make it potentially possible to observe reactions not only inside living cells, but even within individual organelles, such as cell nuclei

Implications of this finding can apply to a wide array of fields ranging from life sciences and biotechnologies to material sciences and engineering

Lens opens new possibilities in virtual and augmented reality

New sensor could potentially be used to identify traces of drugs and explosives, as well as speeding the analysis of certain medical samples

Designed for common Nd:YAG wavelengths

Ideal starting point to stock new labs and replace consumables

Nature-inspired film is scratch resistant, self-cleaning and could be used on flexible displays

Berkeley Lab and aBeam Technologies bring mass fabrication to nano-optical devices

Designing for novel optical components instead of using off-the-shelf optics could reduce the size, weight, or cost of optics systems
