The field of biomimetic imaging systems and artificial compound eyes represents a fusion of biological inspiration and advanced engineering to develop compact, high-performance visual devices. These ...

Eyes are such a normal part of our everyday life that we rarely stop to think about how much they shape the way we live. They help us read, work, travel, connect with people, and understand everything ...

Copying the human lens takes robotic technology a long-way; however, the compound eyes of insects provides a different level of visualization when it comes to peripheral vision. Other advantages that ...

A photograph of the artificial compound eye prototype developed at the University of Virginia School of Engineering and Applied Science by associate professor Kyusang Lee. Self-driving cars ...

Ivo Niermann reveals how he built custom lighting to photograph the tapetum lucidum effect in nocturnal insects ...

Biologists at UC look to the past for early genetic development of tiny spider and insect eyes to find potential for research into human visual challenges. With the increasing advantages of DNA ...

Bugs, the bane of Sunday afternoon picnics, are opening a new horizon for researchers who are mimicking some of their more extraordinary attributes in a wave of research that may save lives in the ...

Insects are found almost everywhere and in all environments. They inhabited the earth before the dinosaurs — and are still with us today! We know of about 1 million species, but biologists think there ...
