H z component diagram when the point source is placed at r = R1 (a) in vacuum and (b) α-MoO3 invisibility concentrator and r = R2 in (c) vacuum and (d) α-MoO3 invisibility concentrator, respectively. ...

This illustration shows the structure of a new device created by Purdue University researchers to overcome a fundamental obstacle in using new metamaterials for radical advances in optical ...

Invisibility has quietly shifted from fantasy to engineering problem, and the most convincing proof is not a shimmering cape but a magnetic cloaking device that makes fields themselves vanish from ...

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 ...

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 ...

There’s a well-known story in Plato’s Republic in which a humble shepherd named Gyges finds a magical gold ring that renders whoever wears it invisible. Gyges proceeds to use his newfound power to ...

It's unlikely to occur by swallowing a pill or donning a special cloak, but invisibility could be possible in the not too distant future, according to research published on Monday. Harry Potter ...
