Comments

They keep saying "cameras" in the PR article, which is sad, as usual. The research indeed seems to be around only the lens.

The introduction [1] suggests that lenses have been lagging sensors in miniaturization.

While sensors with submicron pixels do exist, further miniaturization has been prohibited by the fundamental limitations of conventional optics.
