An optical component known as a “spaceplate” could squeeze an entire camera and long-focus lens into a wafer-thin chip, paving the way for even greater miniaturisation of smartphones and other devices. Limitations have held spaceplates back, but now theoretical work shows that they aren’t just pie in the sky.
