During a visit to, John Pendry said that scientists lack the specific materials they need to design a way to routinely make ...

We tend to think of invisibility cloaks as science fiction. But one group of scientists has taken a big step toward making ...

Students at the University of Rochester have developed a clever optical system which allows for limited invisibility thanks to a bit of optic sorcery physics. Almost all invisibility technologies ...

An invisibility cloak may seem like science fiction ... and look at how this work furthers the state of the art in the field. Many cloaking devices have been theorized over the years.

This study demonstrated the first full-parameter omnidirectional invisibility cloak in free space, which can conceal a large-scale object for arbitrary incident illumination.

Cloaking refers to a physical method that wraps an object in a kind of invisibility cloak, which makes it unrecognizable. So far, cloaking has only been studied with waves—such as light or sound ...

We envision a world in which the sort of invisibility cloaks, the kind that appear in Harry Potter books and movies, could soon be reality. We’d be able to disappear just like that. A number of ...
