The device “allows unprecedented control of light,” he said, with immediate applications in 3-D photolithography (micro- or nano-scale printing with light), optical switching (turning light circuits on and off) and imaging. The researchers are also exploring strange physical effects that Veselago argued would be possible with a negatively refracting flat lens, including negative radiation pressure — pulling objects by shining light on them.

Isnt 3d photolithography used in making cpu's? Could this effect moores law?

Affect, not effect. Sorry.

Remember, if aliens try to pull you out of window with this light beam, try to turn sideways!

Think about possibility of another process size reduction like from 22 to 14nm. Time for Intel to release another Shitty Bridge together with new CPU socket.

Won't work with Americans, they are bigger sideways

Zing! :P

[Anduck]

This means.. ancient aliens are real?

That immediately reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oH1Oj2FYVw
