Scientists have developed a new lens, based on the eye structure of the moth, which reflects very little light and has a wide number of industrial applications. When moths fly at night, their eyes need to capture all the light available. To do this, certain species have evolved nanoscopic structures on the surface of their eyes which allow almost no light to reflect off the surface and hence to escape.
