Invisibility devices may soon no longer be the stuff of science fiction. A new study published in the De Gruyter journal Nanophotonics by lead authors Huanyang Chen at Xiamen University, China, and ...

Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking material capable of bending light in such a way that it renders objects invisible. This technological marvel draws upon advanced concepts in metamaterials, ...

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, ...

A team of researchers in South Korea are developing an artificial “skin” that could allow soldiers to perfectly blend in with their surroundings. Such a cloak could make them invisible not only to ...

Advances in the design and manufacturing processes of photonic materials has realized new models and multifunctional devices which possess an unprecedented control of light. In a new approach, a team ...

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 ...

Materials inspired by disappearing Hollywood dinosaurs and real-life shy squid can quickly change how they reflect heat. That makes them invisible to infrared night vision tools. Materials inspired by ...

(Phys.org) —The new material's artificial "atoms" are designed to work with a broad range of light frequencies. With adjustments, the researchers believe it could lead to perfect microscope lenses or ...

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 ...
