Researchers over at King's College in London have figured out how to trap light on nano-structures. This allows them to capture a rainbow created on gold film that's 100 times smaller than a human hair. They are able to manipulate the structure to control where the colors show up as well!
This has the potential to create better solar cells, improve televisions, as well as provide color sensitivity in infrared imaging security systems.
These "Nano-Rainbows" could have other uses as well down the road.
