$Metamaterial with Nanocrescent Atoms Exhibits Negative Refractive Index in Multiple Spectrum Regions$

Metamaterial with Nanocrescent Atoms Exhibits Negative Refractive Index in Multiple Spectrum Regions

One of the exciting possibilities of metamaterials – engineered materials that exhibit properties not found in the natural world – is the potential to control light in ways never before possible. The novel optical properties of such materials could lead to a "perfect lens" that allows direct observation of an individual protein in a light microscope or, conversely, invisibility cloaks that completely hide objects from sight.
