"In a new study, physicists at the University of Toronto have invented a simple structure called a meta-screen, designed to focus light into tiny spots smaller than the wavelength of the photons in use. These sub-wavelength spots overcome the diffraction limit, thus allowing even the smallest details of an object to be visualized."

This just might pump another couple of decades into Moore's Law. I wonder if Intel is watching.

I'd guess that if they weren't then they will be. Unless they're already working on similar.

I don’t know about Intel but IBM is huge in nanotechnology. They have research centers in at least 3 countries.
