The negative refraction of electrons in graphene has been seen for the first time in experiments done by physicists in the US. The work represents an important advance in the fabrication of graphene ...

Robyn Williams: John Pendry (Sir John as he's recently become) is working with boggling stuff, nanomaterials which defy accepted optical rules. Make a lens, called a Veselago lens after the Russian ...

Figure 1: Analytical study of one-dimensional chains of resonant point scatterers. Starting from this unit cell that creates the single negative property, we build two new configurations just by ...

For the first time, physicists have devised a way to make visible light travel in the opposite direction that it normally bends when passing from one material to another, like from air through water ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Engineers at Purdue University are the first researchers to create a material that has a "negative index of refraction" in the wavelength of light used for telecommunications, a ...

What color is the coronavirus? Conventional optical microscopes are unable to generate high-resolution, colored images of viruses and bacteria. Expensive equipment is used to view them in a more real ...

There has been interest in the Negative Refraction Index (NRI) material at optical frequencies. There are two approaches to optical frequencies. 1)Volumetric structure: it is based on the spherical ...

Nearly a decade after getting waves of light to bend backward, physicists have done the same with electrons. Electrons coursing through a sheet of carbon atoms exhibited negative refraction, bending ...

Physicists are involved in an unusually heated debate over the reality of a new kind of refraction and about the possibility of making perfect lenses. Edwin Cartlidge reports. If you think science is ...
