(PhysOrg.com) -- Some of the most recent research in imaging involves metamaterials, the synthetic materials that possess properties that are not observed in nature. Metamaterials are structured materials, in the sense that they are composed of cells. However, these finite cell sizes impose significant limitations on performance. Particularly in the area of imaging, cell size imposes limitations on resolution.
