Text: Beating the diffraction limit Physics in Action: May 2004 Negative-index materials are being used to make lenses with perfect image reconstruction In 1968 the Russian physicist Victor Veselago predicted the existence of a material with a negative index of refraction, which he termed "left-handed." He concluded that in the presence of such a negative-index material nearly all known wave propagation and optical phenomena would be substantially altered, although negative-index materials were not known to exist at the time. http://physicsweb.org/article/world/17/5/3
