The Register reports that scientists have developed a material with a negative refractive index, which means it causes light to bounce off it "backwards" at speeds that "appear faster than the speed of light."
Calm down. Iowa State University's Costas Soukoulis explains that it's "due to the dispersion of the negative index of refraction; there is nothing wrong with Einstein's theory of relativity."
Whew!
