(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. Normally, a mirror makes one object appear to look like two objects (the original object and its reflection). Since the new set-up does the opposite, the scientists have called the concept the "anti-mirror effect."
