Waiting patiently for Quantum Dkt Sensor to replace CMOS
Has 10,000 ti rs more light sensitivity than CMOS.
Meaning you can have a tiny sensor with 1000 MP camera and still get better night times shots than any advanced large sensor CMOS on planet.

How could such a microscopic sensor take pictures?
Well anyway, it's impressive if true. But if it is commerical then it could be used to spy effectively.. How can you hold a grain of salt or stick it on your pocket or ceiling to spy on someone.. Let me guess, it won't be battery operated standalone because such miniscule battery don't exist? Maybe this one is for politicians.. I don't know man crazy things happening this year. As far as physics is concerned, a sensor this miniscule shouldn't capture as much light as in shown in the samples.

Hopefully this technology doesn't fall Victim to functional fixedness
Not because the camera is small does that mean the technology of the meta surface cannot be applied to bigger lenses
Hopefully some kind of hybrid application can be used for DSLRs or even smartphones
That's how innovation works you take from one area and introduce it to another area
Thats how we got the pressurised chamber moving from industrial use to in house cooking pressure cooking pots
Just move down the technology

Interesting, thanks for sharing this. This could really speed up the under-display camera development and many more things. Wonder if any big tech companies are already on this.

This is interesting. I don't exactly know how it works but it's interesting.
