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 sought ...

Recent advances in materials science have prompted significant interest in high refractive index hybrid materials for light‐emitting diodes (LEDs). These materials combine organic and inorganic ...

A new nanomaterial of minuscule gold rods embedded in glass manipulates light passing through it like no naturally occurring substance (Opt. Lett. 2005, 30, 3356). Potential payoffs, say the Purdue ...

We are surrounded by waves. tiny vibrational waves transport sound to our ears. Light waves stimulate the retinas of our eyes. Electromagnetic waves bring radio, television and endless streaming ...
