Cloaking

It's often a case of swings and roundabouts. If you save money by buying a house out of town, you spend more time and money commuting. According to a new analysis, the better an object is hidden by an invisibility cloak at one color of light, the easier it is to see at other colors.

A Stanford breakthrough in optical metamaterials could enable fabrication of a wide-spectrum invisibility cloak.

Researchers at Duke University have developed an invisibility cloak that can be made by an entry-level 3D printer.

Scientists are investigating using variations of density in ocean water to cloak oil rigs from dangerous surface waves.

Mathematicians are proposing a cloaking system, which could allow buildings to be rendered "invisible" to earthquakes.

Researchers from Cornell University have demonstrated a working "temporal cloak" that is able to conceal a burst of light as if it had never occurred.

A new "invisibility cloak" utilizes the same effect that causes mirages to appear.

Scientists have determined that it should be possible to create a spacetime cloak, that hides entire events.

Researchers have found ways to use magnetic resonance to capture rays of visible light and route them around objects, rendering them invisible to the human eye.

Researchers has created a new visualization tool that can render a room containing a partially or completely cloaked object, showing the visual effects of such a cloaking mechanism and its imperfections.

Active cloaking, a newly theorized approach to invisibility, brings us one step closer to achieving invisibility in the visible light spectrum.
