+ - New Metamaterial Means More Efficient Solar Cells->

Submitted by ElectricSteve
ElectricSteve writes "Metamaterials are manmade substances designed to do some very weird things that natural materials don’t. The path of a beam of light through a natural material like glass is predictable, but scientists from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have engineered an optical material that bends light in the wrong direction. This new negative-index metamaterial (NIM) could have several valuable uses including invisibility cloaking, superlensing (imaging nano-scale objects using visible light) and improved light collection in solar cells."

The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning, and does not stop until you get to work.
