Scientists create low-cost liquid lenses that could change optics
A team of Filipino researchers has developed a simple and affordable way to make adjustable lenses using nothing more than water and plastic-coated glass. These innovative liquid lenses could soon find their way into classrooms, laboratories, cameras, and even wearable devices. The findings were recently published in the journal Results in Optics. The scientists discovered […] The post Scientists create low-cost liquid lenses that could change o…
Filipino scientists have discovered a simple and economical way to manufacture dynamically adjustable liquid lenses with a wide variety of possible future applications. By covering a common glass slide with specially prepared polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic, the researchers managed to create a hydrophobic surface that could contain a drop of water in the form of a dome, similar to that of a magnifying glass. And by adding or removing water from…
