Researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind technique for creating entirely new classes of optical materials and devices that could lead to light bending and cloaking devices -- news to make the ...

Chiral compounds are increasingly important in chemical manufacturing. They are distinguished by a special kind of asymmetry in their molecular structure. Scientists have now developed a method for ...

Technique could lead to new classes of materials that can bend light, such as for those used in cloaking devices Northwestern University researchers have developed a first-of-its-kind technique for ...
