A team of physicists at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge has reported the results of its experiments on internal focusing in negative refractive index materials. Also called left-handed materials to describe the way they refract an incident ray through an angle to the left rather than to the right of the normal line, the materials have been the subject of greater investigation since John B. Pendry of Imperial College London published a series of equations four years ago suggesting that they could be used to create flat-surfaced "superlenses" with perfect resolution.
