Every once in a while I see something that blows my mind. In todays news, scientists have created Silica Nanofiliments which are a smaller diameter than the wavelength of the light that they carry. This is spooky. Check this picture of one of the wires out. It is wrapped around a single human hair. You can see collimar interference patterns along it's length.
I think I can understand how the light follows the guide although the diameter is so small (light will slow down inside the glass, causing the wavicles to seek the center), but it still wierds me out. At this scale, do the photons form a probabilistic cloud around the filiment? Just asking. Not a physics geek to that degree.
