Metamaterial gives light infinite wavelength for on-chip comms

A metamaterial has achieved zero refractive index, increasing the phase velocity, and therefore wavelength, to infinity, claims Harvard University, which is predicting use on ICs. It consists of an array of silicon pillars embedded in polymer and clad in gold film. “Light doesn’t typically like to be squeezed or manipulated but this metamaterial permits you to ...
