SpaceDaily has a comment on the superlens technology here.

Scanning electron and atomic force microscopes can capture detail down to a few nanometers, but they need minutes to take an image, while this new superlens can take snapshots in a fraction of a second even if it only has a resolution of 60 nanometers. In the short term, this superlens will lead to new nanoscale biomedical imaging devices. But it also can lead to other advances in nanoengineering such as higher density electronic circuitry or faster fiber optic communications systems. The researchers even think that this superlens could lead to more detailed views of other planets as well as of human movements checked through surveillance satellites. If you want more details, please check this overview which contains other details, pictures and references about this superlens.
