Now here's a thing a new type of lens
That doesn't use traditional glass elements to focus and control depth of field.
Made from titanium dioxide the stuff they put in things to make them whiter.
Lens is made in a chip foundry and can be mass produced looks like smart phones may get them soon along with laboratorys apparently 30 percent sharper than even the best high end glass optics

This is awesome, yet I'm sceptical about application/aberration thing.

Reading the article and information available
Abberation is dramatic reduced due to the nano technology allowing the light waves to be controlled more precisely
Proof is in the pudding and I am looking forward to seeing images produced by this technology

Maybe.
""The team's lenses do suffer from quite large chromatic aberration – while this is not a problem for technical applications such as microscopy
performed with monochromatic laser light, it would be for consumer applications such as camera lenses. Luckily, in 2015, Capasso and
colleagues showed that a strategically designed silicon metasurface could focus multiple infrared wavelengths at the same point, and
Capasso believes this should be possible at visible wavelengths too. "It's just a matter of time before we do it also with titanium oxide,""
