A team of researchers from Princeton have come up with a new technique for improving the quality of your pictures. Lead by electric engineer Jason Fleisher they have been able to pass the light through a nonlinear crystal which normally distorts the picture. But a computer algorithm will piece the data together and the resulted image is a wide-view picture which can capture details which one would miss in regular conditions. That means you could, in theory, take wide-angle shots with lots of details without having to zoom in to actually get all those details. Will the technology be made available soon?

The ultimate goal is to build “super-resolution” microscopes for better medical diagnostics but the technology could be very well used in other fields too. Hopefully our future cameras could get it too.
