Developing the cloak of invisibility would be wonderful, but sometimes simply making an object appear to be something else will do the trick, according to Penn State electrical engineers.... Read more
A new technique which uses light like a needle to thread long chains of particles could help bring sci-fi concepts such as cloaking devices one step closer to reality. A new method of buildi... Read more
Duke engineers build world’s first 3-D acoustic cloaking device Using little more than a few perforated sheets of plastic and a staggering amount of number crunching, Duke engineers have dem... Read more
Allowing objects to become undetectable to radio sensors over a greater range of frequencies Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin have proposed the first design of a cloaking dev... Read more
Invisibility cloaking is no longer the stuff of science fiction: Two researchers in The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering have demonstrated an effectiv... Read more
The cloak that renders one invisible is a common element in mythology and fairy-tales, but new materials with surprising properties bring the idea closer to reality by providing novel... Read more
Researchers have demonstrated a method for “temporal cloaking” of optical communications, representing a potential tool to thwart would-be eavesdroppers and improve security for... Read more
Practical uses include protecting pacemakers from MRIs and hiding military craft. Researchers from Slovakia and Spain have created an “invisibility” — actually a small cylinder —... Read more
