A Yagi–Uda directional antenna — the work horse of radiofrequency communications for more than 60 years — has now been demonstrated at visible wavelengths. An array of appropriately tuned nanoparticles replicate the reflecting and directing elements of the original design. Directional control of radiation from the nano-optical Yagi–Uda antenna was experimentally shown.
