We have been reporting on invisibility cloaks since starry-eyed theorists managed to show that it was mathematically possible to design a structure that prevented electromagnetic waves from ...

Two magicians physicists at the University of Rochester in New York have created an invisibility cloak capable of hiding large objects, such as humans, buses, or satellites, from visible light.

Chinese researchers have succeeded in using a highly novel approach to craft a Teflon-based invisibility cloak in just 15 minutes. The process, called topology optimization, uses computer software to ...

In the movie "Predator," an alien uses a cloaking device to hide in plain sight, but the effect is far from perfect: The alien's attempt to conceal itself is thwarted by distortions of light bending ...

Forget Harry Potter’s fictional invisibility cloak: A Canadian company that manufactures camouflage uniforms has created a mind-blowing, light-bending material that can make objects seemingly ...

A new invisibility cloak developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) is reportedly able to hide any object that can fit inside a one-inch diameter cylinder. The cloaking device is among ...

A new thermal "invisibility cloak" that channels heat around whatever it is trying to hide may one day help keep people and satellites cool, researchers say. Invisibility cloaks, once thought of only ...

An invisibility cloak that is less than five times bigger than the object it conceals has been unveiled by physicists in Denmark and the UK. They say that their device, which they built using ...

Scientists at UC Berkeley have developed a foldable, incredibly thin invisibility cloak that can wrap around microscopic objects of any shape and make them undetectable in the visible spectrum. In its ...

If you liked last year's bulky invisibility cloaks, you'll love this year's fashionable ultra-thin invisibility wrap — which is just a tenth of a millimeter thick but can still make the objects inside ...

A new thermal "invisibility cloak" that channels heat around whatever it is trying to hide may one day help keep people and satellites cool, researchers say. Previous research had developed cloaking ...
