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.
Sir John Brian Pendry, FRS HonFInstP (born 4 July 1943 [2] [3]) is an English theoretical physicist known for his research into metamaterials and creation of the first practical "Invisibility Cloak". He is a professor of theoretical solid state physics at Imperial College London where he was head of the department of physics (1998–2001) and ...
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 ...
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 ...
