Material With Negative Refractive Index Created
holy_calamity writes "The race to build a material with a negative index of refraction for visible light has been won by researchers in Germany. The advance could lead to super-lenses able to see details finer then the wavelength of visible light, or the previously predicted invisibility cloak for visible light." From the article: "[The researcher] determined the refractive index of the material by measuring the 'phase velocity' of light as it passed through. His measurements show the structure has a negative refractive index of -0.6 for light with a wavelength of 780 nm [the far red end of the visible light spectrum]. This value drops to zero at 760 nm and 800 nm, and becomes positive at longer and shorter wavelengths."
I don't believe it. Why? Source: Nu Scientist.
I won't even click the link for details, that would help in slashdot's efforts to drive traffic to Nu Scientist.
Does "[The researcher]" have a name? Has this work been published in a peer reviewed article of repute?
no you retard, C is Heat capacity, Carbon, Coulomb, Capacitance, etc., a lot of different things, but the speed of light is still c and not C.
Because they got rid of most of their Jewish population.

Does your inability to use the correct form of to/two/too stem from being an idiot, or does it just violate your cultural values to stoop to using the correct word?

If you care so little about what you write, that you would use a peripheral that mangles your words, why don't you just throw all of your keyboards into the ocean and shout at the screen?
