#Dielectric film has refractive index close to air The refractive indices of naturally occurring materials are limited, and there exists an index gap between indices of air and available solid materials.

Here we demonstrate a class of ordered nanolattice materials consisting of periodic thin-shell structures with near-unity refractive index and high stiffness.

At issue is called something refractive index, which measures how much light bends when it moves through a substance.

Air, for example, has a refractive index of 1, while water has a refractive index of 1. 33

-which is why a straw appears to bend when you put it in a glass of water.

with some components having a high refractive index and others have a low one. The higher the contrast between those materials

Air has the lowest refractive index, but it isn't mechanically stable. And the lowest refractive index found in solid,

naturally occurring materials is 1. 39. But now researchers have developed a film made of aluminum oxide that has a refractive index as low as 1. 025 but that is mechanically stiff."

"By manipulating the structure of the aluminum oxide, which is dielectric, we've improved both its optical and mechanical properties,

which gives it a more mechanically robust structure without impairing the refractive index, "says Xu Zhang,

and allows us to design the refractive index of the film.""Regardless of the how thick the coating is,

In contrast, Nanolives technology detects the physical refractive index of the different cell parts with resolution far beyond the diffraction limit (see Nobel prize 2014 for chemistry.

and digitally paint the part of a cell based on their physical properties (called refractive index). STEVE will automatically define all regions with same refractive index characteristics (different organelles have different optical properties)

and digitally stain them with the same color. This process is quantitative and can be applied for a limitless amount of colors.

#New metamaterial enables refractive index of zero Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of engineering and Applied sciences (SEAS) say they have made it easier to manipulate light at the nanoscale.

They have developed the first on-chip metamaterial with a refractive index of zero, meaning that the phase of light can travel infinitely fast.

what happens when a material refractive index is reduced to zero:""There is no phase advance, meaning light no longer behaves as a moving wave, traveling through space in a series of crests and troughs.

when materials with high values of refractive index are involved. In the study, the scientists used ordinary water whose refractive index can be regulated by changing temperature.

As it turned out, high refractive index is associated with two scattering mechanisms: resonant scattering, which is related to the localization of light inside the cylinder,

and nonresonant, which is characterized by smooth dependence on the wave frequency. The interaction between these mechanisms is referred to as Fano resonances.

Materials with corresponding refractive index are known either long or can be developed at will,"said Mikhail Rybin, first author of the paper and senior researcher at the Metamaterials Laboratory in ITMO University.

A change in phase can result from a difference in the refractive index, which determines the speed of the waves.

By applying a voltage the refractive index and hence the velocity of the plasmons in one arm of the interferometer can be varied,

Preventing reflections requires controlling an abrupt change in"refractive index, "a property that affects how waves such as light propagate through a material.

Adding a coating with an intermediate refractive index at the interface eases the transition between materials

The resulting surface nanotexture served to gradually change the refractive index to drastically cut down on reflection of many wavelengths of light simultaneously, regardless of the direction of light impinging on the solar cell."
