Default Negative refractive optics on the horizon??

Think of it! Scopes with a zero diffraction limit. Anyway,
Photonics Spectra magazine reports they've created this for
microwave source viewing and it works. How long it will take
for the optical (visual) side is a question. But the technology
is fascinating.
