These images are from animated computer simulations of a new method — developed by University of Utah mathematicians — for cloaking objects from waves of all sorts. While the new method is unlikely to ...

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 ...

Fig. 1. Schematic diagram of an on-chip system consisting of multiple functional modules (a) without the cloak and (b) with the designed thermal-electromagnetic cloak, respectively. (a) A central ...

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 new method someday ...

Muggles are another step closer to donning a real-life invisibility cloak, as scientists have developed a new technology that can make things invisible under the sun. Spectral invisibility cloaking ...

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 ...

Ever since H. G. Wells published The Invisible Man more than a century ago, the prospect of invisibility – or cloaking – has been a mainstay of science fiction. But now physicists say they have ...

Last year, there was some excitement from Star Trek fans when scientists announced that they now knew how to structure a material that would cause light to flow around it. This was quickly followed by ...
