The idea of an invisibility cloak may sound more like magic than science, but researchers are currently hard at work producing devices that can scatter and bend light in such a way that it creates the ...

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 ...

This illustration shows the structure of a new device created by Purdue University researchers to overcome a fundamental obstacle in using new metamaterials for radical advances in optical ...

The phenom known as wizard Harry Potter may be coming to the end of its book and movie run, but one special effect from the series could become reality in a future theater of war. "Cloak of ...

This demonstration shows how a cylindrical "invisibility cloak" bends microwaves moving from left to right around a interior space, concealing the space from view. First, scientists developed a ...

Taking a page from movies and comic books, researchers at Duke University have developed what they call an “invisibility cloak,” a primitive device that hides objects by bending electromagnetic waves ...

An AI-designed invisibility cloak should be able to hide objects from infrared light or microwaves and be made from readily available materials. The device, which is currently being built, could ...

Cloaking may not be just for Harry Potter. Scientists have made an object invisible. Not to the human eye, just invisible to some kinds of electromagnetic radiation. Sponsor Message WERTHEIMER: And ...

Ever since invisibility cloaking has left the realm of fiction and been demonstrated for microwave radiation, cloaking in the visible has been the aim. Having reached the near-infrared, we might be ...

LONDON (Reuters) - German scientists have created a three-dimensional "invisibility cloak" that can hide objects by bending light waves. The findings, published in the journal Science on Thursday, ...
