The theorists who first created the mathematics that describe the behavior of the recently announced “invisibility cloak” have revealed a new analysis that may extend the current cloak’s powers, ...

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 ...

Thermal cloaking advances stealth technology by using nanostructured materials to manipulate heat signatures, vital for military and electronic applications.

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 ...

University of Utah mathematicians developed a new cloaking method, and it’s unlikely to lead to invisibility cloaks like those used by Harry Potter or Romulan spaceships in “Star Trek.” Instead, the ...

Leafhoppers are the only species that secrete brochosomes: rare nanoparticles with invisibility properties. But for the first time, a group of scientists has created their own synthetic brochosomes.

A cloaking device is an advanced stealth technology that causes an object, such as a spaceship or individual, to be partially or wholly invisible to parts of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum.

Discover the science behind a real cloaking device and learn how light manipulation creates the fascinating effect of making objects appear invisible. Software is still going to eat the world, says ...

There’s something that some of us want to believe — something weird and wondrous and, to be frank, scary. We envision a world in which the sort of invisibility cloaks, the kind that appear in Harry ...
