Hyperbolic Metamaterials Advance Practical Applications
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., May 14, 2014 — Optical imaging of objects as small as DNA strands could be possible using hyperbolic metamaterials. The ultrathin crystalline films act like metals when light passes through in one direction and like dielectrics when light passes in a perpendicular direction. Researchers exploring the metamaterials at Purdue University say practical applications could include quantum computing and high-performance solar cells. “This work is a very important step in terms of fundamental
