Scientists have demonstrated that negative refraction can be achieved using atomic arrays -- without the need for artificially manufactured metamaterials. Scientists have long sought to control ...

This means that refraction at the interface between a positive-index material and a negative-index material would tear the wave apart, leaving no single negatively refracted wave. Valanju reasoned ...
