Imagine if we could see nanometer-sized viruses with the naked eye. That’s a real possibility with a “perfect lens.” It is a theoretical perfected optical lens made out of metamaterials, engineered to change the way the materials interact with light. MTU researchers have found a way to possibly solve one of the biggest challenges, getting light waves to pass through the lens without getting consumed. “These findings open the possibility of reviving the early dreams of making ‘magical’ metamaterials from scratch.”
Metamaterials go beyond the limits of natural materials such as glass, plastic, metal or wood...
