Light-amplifying metamaterial created
The metamaterials have been plagued by a major limitation: too much light is “lost” or absorbed by metals such as silver and gold contained in the metamaterials, making them impractical for optical devices. This illustration shows the structure of a new device created by Purdue researchers to overcome a fundamental obstacle in using new “metamaterials” […]
