For the first time, scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays—without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long ...

Sir John Pendry’s lecture showed how engineered materials make sci-fi real, from invisibility cloaks to microscopes revealing the nanoscopic world.

By arranging the nanoscale unit cells in a desired geometry, the refractive index of the metamaterial can be adjusted to positive, near-zero, or negative values. Among the most sought-after properties ...

The creation of a negative refractive index — responsible for ... It now seems that manmade chiral metamaterials may provide an answer. Two separate research collaborations in the United States ...
