D’oh: simulation of infrared radiation from a heat source being blocked by an object shaped like the head of Homer Simpson (left). The image on the right shows how the proposed cloaking device would ...

Now, researchers have crafted a material that adapts its properties so that its infrared appearance is either hotter or colder than the object it encloses. In other words, hot objects appear cold ...

The illustration shows the glass cloak designed to hide a metal cylinder of 15 micrometers in diameter. Image credit: Semouchkina, et al. Michigan and Pennsylvania researchers are going to make an ...

Its multiple stealth devices – radar-absorbing materials and internal infrared sensors – comprise the ultimate invisibility cloak. In the F-35 and elsewhere, stealth and cloaking technologies ...

Many cloaking devices have been theorized over ... intended to hide military vehicles from sensors in the infrared spectrum. BAE Systems developed ADAPTIV, a system consisting of hexagonal tiles ...

Dubbed "ADAPTIV," the patented infrared cloaking technology developed at BAE consists of sheets of hexagonal panels that act as pixels when attached to the exterior of the vehicle. These pixels ...

Tanks could soon get night time invisibility thanks to a cloaking device that masks their infrared signature. Developed by BAE Systems, the Adaptiv technology allows vehicles to mimic the ...

BAE Systems’s Adaptiv technology enables objects as big as tanks to completely vanish from view–when seen at night with an infrared sensor, admittedly, but that’s still a major advantage.

H. G. Wells's "The Invisible Man" brought the idea of invisibility to the mainstream over a century ago. Not long after, the fascination with invisibility became a hot trope in fantasy and sci-fi ...

Researchers at Germany's Karlsruhe Institute of Technology report they were able to cloak a tiny bump in a layer of gold, preventing its detection at nearly visible infrared frequencies.

The heat masking technology can make a tank look like a car to a heat 'scope Tanks could soon get night time invisibility thanks to a cloaking device that masks their infrared signature.
