Summary
| Description |
English:
An artist's rendition of the new light-bending metamaterial. While developing new lenses for next-generation sensors, researchers have crafted a layered material that causes light to refract, or bend, in a manner not found in nature. Developed by researchers at NSF's Mid-Infrared Technologies for Health and the Environment Engineering Research Center and NSF's Princeton Center for Complex Materials Research Science and Engineering Center. Negative refraction. New metamaterial is used for construction.
