The latest salvo in the battle over negative refractive index materials has been fired, and it has proponents of their existence declaring a victory. Independent groups at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Media Labor-atory in Cambridge and at Boeing Phantom Works in Seattle have presented the results of Snell's law experiments that demonstrate that some substances do refract through a negative angle. "Negative refraction is a real phenomenon," said Andrew A. Houck, a researcher at the lab and at Harvard University, also in Cambridge. He acknowledged, however, that it remains...Read full article
