Engineers Develop a New Slimmer Design for Invisibility Cloaks
A team of engineers from UC San Diego have developed a new design for a cloaking device that overcomes some of the limitations of existing…
‘Digital Metamaterials’ Bring Invisibility Cloaks Closer to Reality
A newly published study details how “digital metamaterials” could help bring invisible cloaks closer to reality. The concept of “digital metamaterials” – a simple way…
Kit Researchers Create Mechanical Invisibility Cloak
Using metamaterials, researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology developed a mechanical invisibility cloak that hides objects from touch. In the past years, invisibility cloaks…
Physicists Build Invisibility Cloaks for Visible Light in Diffusive Media
Physicists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have developed a simple method for building and testing an invisibility cloak for diffusive light-scattering media. Real invisibility…
Engineers Demonstrate Active Electromagnetic Cloaking
By surrounding an object with small antennas that collectively radiate an electromagnetic field, engineers demonstrate active electromagnetic cloaking. Invisibility cloaking is no longer the stuff…
Thermal Cloak Molds the Flow of Heat Around an Object
Scientists from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology have constructed a micro-structured thermal cloak that molds the flow of heat around an object. By means of…
New Metamaterial Doubles the Range of Light That Can Be Manipulated
By designing a broadband metamaterial that more than doubles the range of wavelengths of light that can be manipulated, Stanford scientists have taken an important…
“Schrödinger’s Hat” Conceals Matter Waves Inside an Invisible Container
An international team working to understand invisibility and extend its possible applications has now devised an amplifier, “Schrödinger’s hat,” that can boost light, sound or…
Antimagnet Cloak Hides Objects from Static Magnetic Fields
Researchers in the journal Science have reported that they can now create a cloak that hides objects from static magnetic fields. There are a multitude…
Scientists Make 3D Objects Invisible to Microwave Wavelengths
After years of progress, scientists are now coming closer and closer to making real-world objects disappear from view. Researchers from the University of Texas at…
Time Cloak Creates Hole in Time, Makes Events Disappear
The General Theory of Relativity by Albert Einstein implies that gravity can cause time to slow down. Scientists have now shown that there is a…
