The ability to detect light with an antenna.. and perhaps some day focus and control it just like we do with radio frequency systems?

From CNN:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- Researchers said on Friday they have invented an antenna that captures visible light in much the same way that radio antennas capture radio waves.

They say the device, using tiny carbon nanotubes, might serve as the basis for an optical television or for converting solar energy into electricity once properly developed.
