A start-up pioneering nanophotonic lens technology for images that are always in focus has secured $5.3 million to bring the technology to market. AllFocal Optics is co-founded by Professor Daping Chu and CPDS alumni Dr Pawan Shrestha and Dr Xin Chang. AllFocal Optics ’ technology is built on 10 years of research and...

Professor Chu is co-author on a new paper in Science Advances which describes a multi-receptor sensing system that could be used to boost the sensing capabilities of robotic, haptic and prosthetic systems. Their bionic multi-receptor skin design incorporates tele-perception to enhance human perception and cognition beyond...

Electrically Tunable Metasurface in TN LC Configuration with Enhanced Quality Factor and Metaatom-Induced Alignment Dynamic metasurface with subwavelength dimensions has emerged as a key optical technology in recent years. Although various active tuning mechanisms are being proposed, liquid crystal-based dynamic...
