Applying Anderson Localization to Use Visible Light for Sensing Nanoscale Features

The reason why atoms cannot be viewed with the naked eye is that they are very tiny in relation to the wavelength of light — a good example for a common principle in optics, namely that light is insensitive to features that are considerably small relative to the optical wavelength. Yet, a new study published in the journal Science demonstrates that features even 100 times smaller than the optical wavelength can be sensed by light.
