(PhysOrg.com) -- By making multiple objects appear to look like only one using a "perfect lens," scientists have demonstrated a new optical illusion that could have practical applications in lighting systems.

Since the new set-up does the opposite, the scientists have called the concept the "anti-mirror effect."
