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
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
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
A new solid-state device can demonstrate the physical principles of invisibility cloaks without special equipment or magic spells Who among us hasn’t wanted to don a shimmering piece o... Read more
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
Elastic Invisibility Cloak Allows to Hide from Touching / Mechanical Meta-material Can Be Produced in Millimeter Size In the past years, invisibility cloaks were developed for various senses... Read more
A thermal illusion device to control thermal camouflage and invisibility ENGINEERS and scientists have been trying to discover the ultimate “cloaking” device – not just as a hat trick to mak... Read more
One team has already made a cat ‘disappear’ with a device that has huge military potential Mainland scientists are increasingly confident of developing the world’s first in... 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
Seven years ago, Duke University engineers demonstrated the first working invisibility cloak in complex laboratory experiments. Now it appears creating a simple cloak has become a lot simple... Read more
Up until now, the invisibility cloaks put forward by scientists have been fairly bulky contraptions – an obvious flaw for those interested in Harry Potter-style applications. However, resear... Read more
