"Nanoparticles, Light-Matter Interactions Spur Datacom Developments"

Physicists at Australian National University (ANU) have developed translucent metasurfaces, described as slides, that produce two distinct images by manipulating the direction in which light travels through them. The newly introduced technology uses nanoparticles that control the flow of light like road signs control traffic on a busy road, by manipulating the direction in which light can or cannot travel, research project leader Sergey Kruk said.
