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
Made of pure copper, the ultra-thin ‘shell’ conceals sensors from remote inspection while still allowing them to probe the exterior environment A team of researchers from the National Univer... 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
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
Squid are the ultimate camouflage artists, blending almost flawlessly with their backgrounds so that unsuspecting prey can’t detect them. Using a protein that’s key to this process, scientis... 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
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
Controlling and bending light around an object so it appears invisible to the naked eye is the theory behind fictional invisibility cloaks. It may seem easy in Hollywood movies, but is hard... 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
Stranger than fiction: British survey shows that large swaths of people believe in light sabers, hoverboards, teleportation and invisibility cloaks. It is often said that reality is far stra... 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
