Cloaking space-time
- July 2011 article from
Physics World.
"Most existing invisibility cloaks are designed to hide objects
from view. But as Martin McCall and Paul Kinsler explain, it
could also be possible to make "space–time" cloaks that allow
selected events to go undetected."
-
Superlens breaks optical barrier
- August 2005 article from
Physics World, by
David R. Smith.
"Physicists have built a lens that can image nano-scale objects
using visible light."
-
Beating the diffraction limit
- May 2004 article from
Physics World, by
David R. Smith.
"Negative-index materials are being used to make lenses with
perfect image reconstruction."

The reality of negative refraction
- May 2003 article from
Physics World, by
David R. Smith.
"Recent experiments that demonstrate the negative refraction
of light could bring a heated scientific debate to a close,
and give negative-index materials a positive future."
