    A team of applied physicists at the Harvard School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS)has managed to create an ultrathin, flat lens that is only a mere 60 nanometers thick. Despite being so thin, and being close to the ultimate physical limit set by the laws of diffraction, the lens is able to focus light without imparting the distortions of conventional lenses....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/harvard-team-develops-an-ultrathin-flat-lens-that-is-only-60-nanometers-thick/'>READ ARTICLE</a>
