Scientists have discovered that objects coated with a forest of carbon nanotubes can be made to disappear against a dark background.
-
ScienceA new "invisibility cloak" utilizes the same effect that causes mirages to appear.
-
BAE has developed and "invisibility cloak" technology called "Adaptiv" that renders vehicles invisible in the infrared part of the spectrum and can even let the vehicle mimic other vehicles or natural objects.
