Craig Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-16726609 Researchers have "cloaked" a three-dimensional object, making it invisible from all angles, for the first time. However, the demonstration works only for waves in the microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. It uses a shell of what are known as plasmonic materials; they present a "photo negative" of the object being cloaked, effectively cancelling it out.

BAZ Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 Some of my stuff already appears to have these properties, put it down and I can't find it again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
