Researchers at the Australian National University have created the world’s thinnest optical lens, one two-thousandth the thickness of a human hair.

Experts say this ground-breaking development can become real progress in nanotechnology.

The 6.3-nanometre lens surpasses the previous ultra-thin lens, which was 50-nanometre thick, according to VladTime.ru.

This new lens can become revolutionary in science, technology, and medicine.
