Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking discovery: a material capable of bending light in unprecedented ways. This advancement opens up possibilities for innovations in optics, including superlenses ...

Harry Potter’s iconic “Invisibility Cloak” could perhaps be within our sight. Chinese scientists have devised a camouflage material that adjusts its molecular composition to blend into the background, ...

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A new light-bending material has brought scientists one step closer to creating a cloaking device that could hide objects from sight. Beyond possible military applications, it also ...

Last year, a team at Duke announced a beta cloaking material whose special nano-properties make it “invisible” to microwaves. Today, however, researchers in Stuttgart have got something even better — ...

A Chinese scientist’s viral demonstration shows how simple optics can make body parts vanish, sparking global debate over ...

A new technique maintains structural integrity by essentially hiding openings in materials from surrounding forces. Rather than reinforcing an opening, such as a hole or a window, to protect against a ...

The great unappreciated weakness of invisibility cloaks is that they only make things invisible to human eyes. Or x-ray imagers. Or ultraviolet sensors, infrared image analyzers, echo-location audio ...
