Seeing in stereo: Engineers invent lens for 3-D microscope
Other 3D microscopes use multiple lenses or cameras that move around an object; the new lens is the first single, stationary lens to create microscopic 3D…
Is space like a chessboard?
Space is usually considered infinitely divisible — given any two positions, there is always a position halfway between. But in a recent study aimed at…
