- Title
Researchers Develop Metamaterials that Work for Visible Light.
- Abstract
The article offers information on a metamaterial with a negative refractive index for visible light developed by researchers at the Ames Laboratory of the U.S. Department of Energy in 2006. The discovery marks an important step forward from existing metamaterials that operate in the microwave or far infrared regions of the spectrum. Such improvements could give researchers the ability to see inside a human cell. The challenge encountered by researchers is to fabricate them so they refract light at smaller wavelengths.
