From cloaking devices that conceal spaceships, to Harry Potter’s hand-me-down disappearing blanket, or even the One Ring and its power to conceal its wearer, invisibility is a staple in science ...

Taking a page from movies and comic books, researchers at Duke University have developed what they call an "invisibility cloak," a primitive device that hides objects by bending electromagnetic waves ...

The theorists who first created the mathematics that describe the behavior of the recently announced “invisibility cloak” have revealed a new analysis that may extend the current cloak’s powers, ...

Scientists say they have found a way to hide an object from microwave radiation in a first step towards making what they hope will be an invisibility cloak. The cloaking device is said to deflect ...

CHICAGO (Reuters) - A new light-bending material has brought scientists one step closer to creating a cloaking device that could hide objects from sight. Beyond possible military applications, it also ...
