Study Reveals Sand Grains Help Make Complex Lenses

A team of material scientists, chemical engineers and physicists has successfully grown liquid crystal flowers out of sand granules that could be used as complex lenses. Not just this. This unique technique could help produce complex dragonfly-like eyes containing millions of spherical lenses that are easier, faster and cheaper to achieve. The team of scientists used silica beads, which are basically polished grains of sand, and planted in a pool of ...
