Scientists have long thought that insects with compound eye systems couldn’t see the world as clearly as animals sporting eyeballs with singular lenses. But new research indicates that this might not ...

A new humanmade version of an insect’s compound eye could perform like the real thing. Because of its pinhead size and anticipated low cost, the eye is promising for many applications, its inventors ...

Scientists in the US have made the first artificial eye using 3D polymer structures. The eye, which is made from individual "ommatidia" -- or single lenses -- arranged in a dome shape, is similar in ...

The eye of a dragonfly is made of tens of thousands of individual segments Photo: Rudi Gunawan The first working compound-eye-style camera can’t quite see like a dragonfly. Dragonfly eyes are made of ...

The compound eyes of insects can detect fast-moving objects in parallel and, in low-light conditions, enhance sensitivity by integrating signals over time to determine motion. Inspired by these ...

Insects have much better vision and can see in far greater detail than previously thought, a new study from the University of Sheffield has revealed. Scientists have long believed insects would not ...
