First Acoustic Hyperlens Boosts Power of Ultrasound and Sonar

This is a real breakthrough. Will it allow a reduction in transmitted sonar energy? Various organizations claim that sonar has a negative impact on marine life.

How does this more sensitive sonar technique fair against RAF material on stealth vehicles?

If sonar had a negative impact on marine life, then what about those species that use it? Sonar is nothing more than sound refracting off a surface. And if it is felt by marine life its probably like the feeling you get when your subwoofers are turned up high, thats my guess anyways.

Pyro, imagine standing at a heavy metal concert all day everyday in the affected area. That might not be so pleasant after a while.

Wow! Another method to exceed the diffraction limit. This was first accomplished in the later 1920s by Royal Raymond Rife who constructed a live virus microscope based upon heterodyning light. Until very recently living viruses were too small to resolve in the human eye and only Dr. Rifes' microscope technology was able to achieve this feat. We now have the Ergonom 400/500 series scopes from Germany that are now being used to re-create the discoveries of Dr. Rife way back when automobiles first encountered electric starters!

Electron microscopes invented at the University of Toronto in 1938 cannot resolve living organisms even to this day because of the necessary of staining and harsh vacuum techniques required for observation which essentially destroys the sample rendering grossly distorted representations of the original sample.

If this discovery pans out, it may be possible that research in virology will finally take its place in reality at an affordable entry point that would allow the average researcher access to a new significant research tool and be freed from the constraints of appeasing the donors of research projects who expect specific outcomes from their funding efforts and usually get what they paid for.
