Wingcat asked:
<<...it's a *lens*. A rather obvious type, it seems to
me. Yes, lenses have all kinds of uses; this is just
putting a lens inside a carefully-created flat sheet.
I fail to see the significance over what we already
had, for instance how it can significantly improve
performance over presently available lenses in any of
the areas you mentioned. Could you explain what I am
failing to grasp, please?>>
Yes, its lighter and made out of better materials then the regular glasses.
It can be shaped into other shapes rather than merelely, lenticular. It has
the capability of re-drirecting photons in a manner that until 100 days ago,
physics had never seen. Thus, such a material(s) with such qualities, will
impact scientific research, at first, and then become a likely utility for
industry.
