Scientists Take Step Toward Invisibility, Australian Broadcasting, Reuters with Invisibility Cloak a Step Closer, and the (Raleigh) News & Observer with 'Invisibility Cloak a Step Closer. [49] On November 6, 2006, the Duke University research and development team was selected as part of the Scientific American best 50 articles of 2006. [50]
Developments in scientific research [1] show that real-world cloaking devices can obscure objects from at least one wavelength of EM emissions. Scientists already use artificial materials called metamaterials to bend light around an object. [2] However, over the entire spectrum, a cloaked object scatters more than an uncloaked object. [3]
If you ever hoped an invisibility cloak was a real thing, you will be happy to know that one now exists. Unfortunately, it will only work on something incredibly small, specifically microscopic.
Engineers and scientists have performed various kinds of research to investigate the possibility of finding ways to create real optical invisibility (cloaks) for objects. Methods are typically based on implementing the theoretical techniques of transformation optics, which have given rise to several theories of cloaking.
Scientists with the Queen Mary University of London have made a material that makes protruding areas, “appear flat to electromagnetic waves.” Scientists get one step closer to building an ...
Ukraine has reportedly developed a real-life “invisibility cloak” that can hide soldiers from Russian thermal cameras thanks to its unique properties that block heat signature radiation. The ...
"Ideally, if we make it real it would work exactly like Harry Potter's invisibility cloak," he said. "It's not going to be heavy because there's going to be very little metal in it." Furthermore, on April 30, 2009, two teams of scientists developed a cloak that rendered objects invisible to near-infrared light.
Theories of cloaking discusses various theories based on science and research, for producing an electromagnetic cloaking device.Theories presented employ transformation optics, event cloaking, dipolar scattering cancellation, tunneling light transmittance, sensors and active sources, and acoustic cloaking.
