-Hiroshi- Posted May 29, 2006 Share Posted May 29, 2006 Researchers say they are rapidly closing in on new types of materials that can throw a cloak of invisibility around objects, fulfilling a fantasy that is as old as ancient myths and as young as "Star Trek" and the Harry Potter novels.Unlike those tales of fictional invisibility, the real-life technologies usually have a catch. Nevertheless, limited forms of invisibility might be available to the military sooner than you think. "We're very confident that at radar frequencies, these materials can be implemented on a time scale of 18 months or so," John Pendry of Imperial College London told MSNBC.com.

voazo03 Posted May 31, 2006 Share Posted May 31, 2006 The connection of light relocation and cloaking is so distant it shouldn't even be mentioned in the same thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Harry Potter and Captain Kirk would be proud. A team of American and British researchers has made a Cloak of Invisibility. Well, OK, it's not perfect. Yet. But it's a start, and it did a pretty good job of hiding a copper cylinder from microwave detection. Like light and radar waves, microwaves bounce off objects making them visible and creating a shadow, though it has to be detected with instruments. And if you can hide something from microwaves, you can hide it from radar -- a possibility that will fascinate the military -- and likely from eyesight as well.
