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 ...

Anyone who's tried to swat a pesky mosquito knows how quickly the insects can evade a hand or fly swatter. The pests' compound eyes, which provide a wide field of view, are largely responsible for ...

Researchers have discovered an extraordinary diversity of opsin genes that encode light sensors involved in color vision in dragonflies. We humans have a trichromatic color vision based on three opsin ...

As one of the most successful eye designs in the animal kingdom, natural compound eyes (NCEs) have attracted significant research attention in replicating the anatomical configuration to form ...

WASHINGTON -- If you've ever tried to swat a fly, you know that insects react to movement extremely quickly. A newly created biologically inspired compound eye is helping scientists understand how ...

Researchers developed an insect-scale artificial compound eye, integrating vision and chemical sensing for enhanced navigation in drones and autonomous systems.

A newly created biologically inspired compound eye is helping scientists understand how insects use their compound eyes to sense an object and its trajectory with such speed. The compound eye could ...
