Researchers Create Nano Camera Held Together With Molecular Glue

It is easy to get hung up on the artistic side of photography and forget about how significant the craft is in the sciences. Now, researchers from the University of Cambridge have developed a camera so minuscule that it allows the observation of chemical reactions in real-time. Photography has had an integral role in the sciences and it's easy to forget that. As we pixel-peep 100-megapixel raw files and scoff at the slightest deviations in corner sharpness on a new lens, there are teams of scientists developing cameras where image quality is a far cry from their chief concern.
