New research shows that 3D-printed metasurfaces can form flexible invisibility cloaks that conform to any complex shape. And ...

WASHINGTON, April 19–Invisibility cloaks are seemingly futuristic devices capable of concealing very small objects by bending and channeling light around them. Until now, however, cloaking techniques ...

Could invisibility cloaks become a reality? New research brings this science fiction concept a step closer, with a breakthrough software package that simulates how waves interact with complex ...

Researchers at the University of Rochester are reporting that they've built the first invisibility cloak that works in three dimensions, viewed from a range of angles, across the full spectral range ...

The solution published last month in the journal Physical Review Letters examines processes for linear wave disruption. The shielding concept uses rows of pillars placed in a cylindrical pattern ...

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there. Reality has been far messier. For nearly two ...

Two magicians physicists at the University of Rochester in New York have created an invisibility cloak capable of hiding large objects, such as humans, buses, or satellites, from visible light.
