You might think invisibility cloaks exist only in the Wizarding World, but think again. A research team at the Korea Advanced ...

What would it take to hide an entire planet? It sounds more like a question posed in an episode of “Star Trek” than in academic discourse, but sometimes the bleeding edge of science blurs with themes ...

Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have developed a method that makes objects on a magnetic field invisible within a particle stream. Until now, this so-called cloaking had only been studied ...

The immune system provides constant surveillance for the body, aiming to spot and eliminate disease-causing microbes or ...

In the movie "Predator," an alien uses a cloaking device to hide in plain sight, but the effect is far from perfect: The alien's attempt to conceal itself is thwarted by distortions of light bending ...

Two magicians physicists at the University of Rochester in New York have created an invisibility cloak capable of hiding large objects, such as humans, buses, or satellites, from visible light.

An invisibility cloak that is less than five times bigger than the object it conceals has been unveiled by physicists in Denmark and the UK. They say that their device, which they built using ...

DURHAM, N.C. — A team led by scientists at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering has demonstrated the first working “invisibility cloak.” The cloak deflects microwave beams so they flow around ...

We have been reporting on invisibility cloaks since starry-eyed theorists managed to show that it was mathematically possible to design a structure that prevented electromagnetic waves from ...

In the movie "Predator," an alien uses a cloaking device to hide in plain sight, but the effect is far from perfect: The alien's attempt to conceal itself is thwarted by distortions of light bending ...

Scientists are getting closer to creating a real-life invisibility cloak. A new study published in the journal Science shows scientists have created what they are calling a “ultrathin invisibility ...
