Ulf Leonhardt suggests that using an untested theory of Maxwell's may allow light to be focused below it's wavelength. This is something that has been thought to be impossible. But, if true, could be of a huge benefit in the production of microchips and in the developing field of nano technology.

"Maxwell's Rainbow 3D Traveling Show"

As part of the James Clerk Maxwell year celebrations, the DLF were commissioned by the James Clerk Maxwell Foundation to produce an inspirational 3D show that introduces the work of Maxwell to both a general audience and S3 and above students. The show focuses on his work on the electromagnetic spectrum and aims to take the participants on the journey of discovery that lead to Maxwell's theory that unified Magnetism, Electricity and Light. The project is funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and over 5,000 students have seen the show. Music is by PJ Moore. The show uses the same passive stereo 3D technology that has been used to great effect in our "Space- the Solar System and Beyond" Traveling shows.
