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 ...

In recent years, invisibility has become an area of increasing research interest due to advances in materials engineering. This research work by the UEx, which has been published in Scientific Reports ...

DALLAS - It sounds like a magic trick. One second an object is there, the next it's not. A scientist at the University of Texas at Dallas says he's figured out a way to make things disappear before ...

Can you feel the heat? To a thermal camera, which measures infrared radiation, the heat that we can feel is visible, like the heat of a traveler in an airport with a fever or the cold of a leaky ...

In laboratories from Brazil to Munich, researchers are learning to grab matter with sound alone, sculpting ultrasonic waves into invisible “hands” that can lift, push, and rotate objects without a ...

If you have not come across a Lubor’s Lens before, you may be interested in this video which explains the optical illusion created by the lens, allowing it to make objects disappear in front of your ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have built a beam of darkness that can make objects invisible from a long distance away. This isn't the plot from some not-so-distant sci-fi movie: ...

The concept, theoretically, could be extended to make 3D objects invisible from all directions; a significant step in the development of practical invisibility cloaking technologies. Most current ...
