New IR-reflecting magnetic mirror developed by scientists | General News

New IR-reflecting magnetic mirror developed by scientists | General News: "The development of a new magnetic mirror that can reflect infrared light is being celebrated by the scientists responsible for its construction.



The new mirror uses not-metallic metamaterials to reflect IR light, which exists at wavelengths too long to be seen be the naked eye unaided. The scientists used a series of ultra-small scale magnetic reflectors and placed nanoscale antennas on key points of these mirrors, which aided in focusing electromagnetic radiation. The creation of the new magnetic mirror could have serious implications in how to develop new types of optoelectronic devices like lasers, solar sells and chemical sensors, researchers say in the academic paper that publicized their findings."
