Your pervy, Harry Potter-fueled dreams are edging closer to reality, now British scientists have used metamaterials to bend light in a different manner to previous attempts. Now, it works with a ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a method that makes objects on a magnetic field invisible within a particle stream. Until now, this so-called cloaking had only been studied ...

This University of Missouri-developed structured lattice-type material protects against damage from mechanical energy waves, steering them around objects that it encloses. Harry Potter acolytes are ...

Hospitals, power grids, aerospace systems, and scientific laboratories all host extremely sensitive technologies that allow the facilities to do what they need to do—as long as no pesky, unwanted ...

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 ...

The bleeding edge: A UK clothing company called Vollebak thinks it has taken the first step toward creating an "invisibility cloak." Working with a professor from the University of Manchester (UoM) ...

LONDON (Reuters) - German scientists have created a three-dimensional "invisibility cloak" that can hide objects by bending light waves. The findings, published in the journal Science on Thursday, ...
