Newsletter: Filipino scientists develop low-cost liquid lenses

[THIS IS A PRESS RELEASE]

Water droplets maintain their spherical shape and optical properties when placed on a hydrophobic surface made by coating a glass slide with electrospun PVC fibers. The optical properties can be changed by simply adjusting the volume of water in the droplet. (SOURCE: Budlayan et al., 2025)

Filipino scientists have discovered a simple, affordable way to make dynamically adjustable water-based lenses that have a wide variety of potential future applications—from classrooms and research labs to cameras and even wearable gadgets.
