Created from a crystal 6.3-nanometers thick with nine atomic layers
Used a focused ion beam to shave off the layers of crystal, atom by atom
Has optical path length, controls phase the light and monitors interference

Scientists have created the world's thinnest camera lens - and it could change how phones look forever.
The innovation is just 6.3-nanometers, one two-thousandth the thickness of a human hair, which is comparably thinner than the previous smallest lens that is 50-nanometer thick.
Although this technology could revolution applications in numerous industries and devices, researchers also believe they can use arrays of micro lenses to mimic the compound eyes of insects for 'supervision'.
