What is recorded here?
Measured microwave transmission through a structured composite and used prism scattering to demonstrate refraction on the negative side of the normal in the tested frequency band.
Source-linked catalogue note. A detailed explanatory guide has not yet been prepared for this entry.
Scientific scope
The record is the exact three-author 2001 Science experiment on a particular microwave metamaterial. It does not establish negative refraction for every material, frequency regime or proposed device.
