Superfocusing Light for Microscopes

Posted December 06, 2007 8:37 AM

Borrowing a page from radio and microwave transmitters that use antennae, researchers report creating antennae for infrared laser light. The laser Nano antenna devices allow light to be focused to a much tighter area, which could improve the resolution of both microscopes and infrared spectrometry. This may allow viewing cells at work. Can this technology have other applications?
