Welcome to Trekspertise, a series where we break down the technology, history, details, and decisions that make the Star Trek universe so complex — and so fun. Cloaking devices were first introduced ...

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking 3D invisibility cloak that can hide complex objects from infrared cameras while protecting them from extreme heat and cold. Instead of blocking heat, the ...

An intricate metal-and-rubber lattice steers heat around objects, concealing their presence from thermal detection.

"Many groups have been working devices that make objects invisible," Che Ting Chan tells PhysOrg.com. “Most of these devices, however, encompass the object to be cloaked.” Chan, a scientist at The ...

University of Utah mathematicians developed a new cloaking method, and it’s unlikely to lead to invisibility cloaks like those used by Harry Potter or Romulan spaceships in “Star Trek.” Instead, the ...

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 ...

Last year, a team at Duke announced a beta cloaking material whose special nano-properties make it “invisible” to microwaves. Today, however, researchers in Stuttgart have got something even better — ...
