“TINY” IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT

https://archive.is/fyNYB

http://futurism.com/scientists-just-created-worlds-thinnest-lensand-going-revolutionize-screens/

>The world’s thinnest lens has been created—and it’s just 1/2000th the width of a human hair. What could a lens that thin possibly do? Well, it’s set to pave the way for the production of flexible computer displays and possibly, miniature cameras.

>According to the lead researcher behind the project, Dr. Yuerui (Larry) Lu from The Australian National University (ANU), it could allow us to see like bugs: “This type of material is the perfect candidate for future flexible displays. We will also be able to use arrays of micro lenses to mimic the compound eyes of insects.”

>The discovery was based on the molybdenum disulphide crystal.

>The crystal used in the material is quite remarkable. It is known to survive remarkably high temperatures; it can be used as a lubricant; it is an ideal semiconductor; and it is capable of emitting photons.

>Single layers of the crystal, around 0.7 nanometers, demonstrated impressive optical properties, which could light a beam 50 times thicker at 38 nanometers (this is known as optical path length).

>In addition, the refractive index of the molybdenum has a value of 5.5. For comparison, a diamond ranks up to 2.4 while water’s refractive index is at 1.3.

>Summing the work, Dr. Lu notes, “The capability of manipulating the flow of light in atomic scale opens an exciting avenue towards unprecedented miniaturisation of optical components and the integration of advanced optical functionalities.”

fucking great

Everyone knows this'll be used for spying on people, not girls.

>fly camera used to spy on man alone in his home

>"well if he has nothing to hide then what is he afraid of?"

>fly camera used to spy on hot girls

>"RAAAAAAAAAAAPE"


 No.339518

lmao how the hell is something that tiny going to fly stable? Wouldn't it be floating in the air like a spec of dust? Time to set the fan to maximum and make it face the open window. Or maybe a couple of air purifiers will do the trick.


 No.339526

Why would you need a tiny camera to spy on the girl's locker room? Just claim to be a tranny and you're in!


 No.339534

>>339518

it doesn't need to be very stable. it just needs to get into a room, stick to a wall or ceiling like a fly, and focus it's camera on the girl. did you know that girls actually masturbate while alone in their bedrooms?

>it doesn't need to be very stable. it just needs to get into a room, stick to a wall or ceiling like a fly, and focus it's camera on the girl.

But how will it stick? Does it have a suction cup or something?

>did you know that girls actually masturbate while alone in their bedrooms?

Nah man that only happens in porn movies.


 No.339548

>>339541

something that small could easily use the micro-rough textures of a wall as contact points


 No.340294

>>339541

I assume like lizards, it would have nanohooks on its appendages that hook into the surface on a nanoscopic level.

That's really fucking cool.

>>340296

The biggest issue is that molybdenum tends to oxidize and go bad rather easily. You'd need a second paper-thin layer of either polymer or glass to seal it air-tight.


 No.340337

>>338990

Good. Now girls will be able to take selfies with polish on their fingernails.

Technology is well used.

Or a retarded negro could put a tiny camera in his urethra, and ejaculate it out as he spurts onto the back of a white female sitting at a bus stop.

Splash-shot!

>scientists' silence will be bought

>never actually used except against people as a weapon

>you might just finally get access to this technology in a hundred years, once a superior technology has emerged, and for the exclusive price of $50,000

Show's over.

Surely they would just need to wait 10 years until the patent expires then its public domain information.

Everyone else missed that subtlety, but I didn't. I didn't miss it anon.
