Casio develops ceramic lenses for digital cameras
Casio has developed lenses made out of transparent ceramics for use in their digital cameras. Apparently using this material can reduce the overall size of their telephoto lenses by nearly 20% because of their higher refractive index. Most crown glasses have refractive indices of around 1.5, while this material has a refractive index of 2.08. Transparent ceramics have many of the same properties of sapphire, but at a greatly reduced cost. You can look here for more details, without the corporate self-promotion. The military applications are rather obvious, as are their uses for fireplace glass.
I suspect the world would be better if that percentage were even greater.
Apparently 15% of all web traffic is cat related. There's no reason for Brainwagon be any different.
Thanks Mal! I'm trying to reclaim the time that I was using doom scrolling and writing pointless political diatribes on…
Brainwagons back! I can't help you with a job, not least because I'm on the other side of our little…
Congrats, glad to hear all is well.
