In this episode of Big Ideas from the team behind Deep Look, Niba explores how insects actually see the world — from the ...

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 ...

Natural compound eyes (NCEs) were first investigated by Robert Hooke in 1664 after he observed orderly arranged pearls in the cornea of a grey drone fly. These NCEs then inspired the development of ...

Researchers have developed an insect-scale artificial compound eye that combines ultra-fast motion detection with chemical sensing, an advance that could significantly improve navigation safety and ...
