Hiding an object from heat-sensing cameras could be useful for military and technology applications as well as for research. Efforts to develop such a method have been underway for decades w... Read more
EPFL researchers have found a way to make materials that are normally opaque to sound waves completely transparent. Their system involves placing acoustic relays at strategic locations so th... Read more
New approach to invisibility cloaking could be used to secure data transmissions and advance sensing, telecommunications and other applications Researchers and engineers have long sought way... Read more
Infrared cameras are the heat-sensing eyes that help drones find their targets even in the dead of night or through heavy fog. Hiding from such detectors could become much easier, thanks to... Read more
Researchers designed an underwater acoustic ground cloak by engineering material with properties not typically found in nature, rendering an object invisible Cloaking devices play a pivotal... Read more
The theoretical discovery of transparent particles that break the previously accepted limit of visibility opens a new door in the search for perfect transparency Transparent particles with e... Read more
A new cloaking technology has been developed at TU Wien: a special kind of material is irradiated from above in such a way that another beam of light can pass completely uninhibited. How do... Read more
In an advance that could boost the efficiency of LED lighting by 50 percent and even pave the way for invisibility cloaking devices, a team of University of Michigan researchers has develope... Read more
Almost as elusive as unicorns, finding practical materials for invisibility cloaking is challenging. Michigan Technological University researchers have new ideas how to solve that. Metamater... Read more
Inspired perhaps by Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak, scientists have recently developed several ways—some simple and some involving new technologies—to hide objects from view. The latest e... Read more
Iowa State University engineers have developed a new flexible, stretchable and tunable “meta-skin” that uses rows of small, liquid-metal devices to cloak an object from the sharp eyes of ra... Read more
Guoping Wang of Wuhan University, China, and his colleagues created it to show off their camouflage technology, which could one day allow military vehicles or body armour to blend perfectly... Read more
Berkeley Lab Researchers Create Ultrathin Invisibility Cloak Invisibility cloaks are a staple of science fiction and fantasy, from Star Trek to Harry Potter, but don’t exist in real life, or... Read more
Researchers have developed a new design for a cloaking device that overcomes some of the limitations of existing “invisibility cloaks.” In a new study, electrical engineers at the University... Read more
