Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Superlensing is a way to see things that are smaller than the wavelength of light. Two researchers from the University of Sydney Nano Institute recently developed a superlensing technique that doesn't require any actual lenses. They achieved this by using calculations on electromagnetic field recordings. While the method is not the first nor the highest resolution technique available, it is much faster and less costly than other techniques.
