DURHAM, N.C. — Using a new design theory, researchers at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering and Imperial College London have developed the blueprint for an invisibility cloak. Once devised, ...

The invisibility cloak is an artefact that can make the wearer transparent, rendering it undetectable to observers outside. Perhaps, one of the most well-known examples is the invisibility cloak ...

A researcher at the University of Texas at Austin has devised an invisibility cloak that could work over a broad range of frequencies, including visible light and microwaves. This is a significant ...

DURHAM, N.C. — A team led by scientists at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering has demonstrated the first working “invisibility cloak.” The cloak deflects microwave beams so they flow around ...

Three animations show how incident waves reflect away from a surface, with and without the metamaterial cloaking device in place. The cloak makes waves reflect as if the "bump" were not there.

You know how a princess can feel a pea through 20 mattresses and 20 feather beds? Well, not any more. Researchers in Germany have created the first mechanical invisibility cloak. When this cloak is ...

Are physics – not magic — the key to a Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak? New research indicates yes. A recent study by researchers from Imperial College London involves a new class of space-aged ...

What do Harry Potter's invisibility cloak and stealth fighter jets that evade radar have in common? They both make objects ...

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 ...

Haven’t you heard? Scientists have finally invented the perfect tool for porn shopping, shoplifting and general mayhem: A material that can redirect wavelengths within the electromagnetic spectrum, ...
