Metamaterials are carefully engineered materials that possess desirable properties and can be used to manipulate ...

Research into materials science illustrates how an invisibility cloak would actually work—and what the science means for ...

John Pendry is known for creating an invisibility cloak. Twenty years on, he has used the same principles to fashion an even ...

DURHAM, N.C. — Using a new design theory, researchers at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering and Imperial College London have developed the blueprint for an invisibility cloak. Once devised, ...

A researcher at the University of Texas at Austin has devised an invisibility cloak that could work over a broad range of frequencies, including visible light and microwaves. This is a significant ...

You know how a princess can feel a pea through 20 mattresses and 20 feather beds? Well, not any more. Researchers in Germany have created the first mechanical invisibility cloak. When this cloak is ...

(a) Schematic of the dual-mode metamaterial design. The structure employs PEC slot cavities filled with conventional dielectrics, exhibiting dual operational modes: omnidirectional multiband ...

(Phys.org) —The new material's artificial "atoms" are designed to work with a broad range of light frequencies. With adjustments, the researchers believe it could lead to perfect microscope lenses or ...
