A team of scientists says they've found a specific kind of light wave that can pierce directly through objects, making it seem as though they were totally invisible. This new approach, however, is a ...

Physicists from ITMO University, Ioffe Institute and Australian National University managed to make homogenous cylindrical objects completely invisible in the microwave range. Contrary to the now ...

Human vision feels complete and reliable, yet a growing body of research suggests our eyes and brains are constantly editing ...

Nick Fang of the University of Illinois created a two-dimensional acoustic cloak that can hide underwater objects by manipulating sound waves. “We are not talking about science fiction. We are talking ...

In recent years, invisibility has become an area of increasing research interest due to advances in materials engineering. This research work by the UEx, which has been published in Scientific Reports ...

Who says the invisibility cloak only exists in works of fiction? A group of physicists has been able to make objects fully invisible in the microwave range. In 2012, researchers from Duke University ...

WASHINGTON -- Researchers and engineers have long sought ways to conceal objects by manipulating how light interacts with them. A new study offers the first demonstration of invisibility cloaking ...

D’oh: simulation of infrared radiation from a heat source being blocked by an object shaped like the head of Homer Simpson (left). The image on the right shows how the proposed cloaking device would ...

The approach could be applicable to securing data transmitted over fiber optic lines and also help improve technologies for sensing, telecommunications and information processing, researchers say. The ...

Researchers and engineers have long sought ways to conceal objects by manipulating how light interacts with them. A new study offers the first demonstration of invisibility cloaking based on the ...
