Mathematicians have developed the theory for a Harry Potter style 'cloaking' device which could protect buildings from earthquakes. Scientists have been working on the theory of invisibility ...

Here’s how it works. The Oct. 26, 2006 RF Report described a demonstration of cloaking--making an object invisible--conducted at Duke University and Imperial College in London. Allan Greenleaf, ...

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 ...

The Invisibility Cloak hides its wearer in a space between life and death, making it superior to other cloaks. The Peverell brothers may have created the Deathly Hallows using Thestral magic ...

This Behind the Scenes article was provided to LiveScience in partnership with the National Science Foundation. Applied mathematician Graeme Milton dreams up new materials, develops mathematical ...

Last October saw a major breakthrough in an area of research that, until very recently, was squarely in the realm of science fiction—cloaking technology. An article published in Science by a ...

Researchers in the US have engineered the first optical material that demonstrates cloaking behaviour in the visible. The team believes that its design validates the basic theory of electromagnetic ...

Though this technology uses the same fundamental theories as recent advances in optical cloaking, there is a key difference. Until now, he explains, cloaking research has revolved around ...

Cloaking exploits some of the ideas from the physics of space, in particular those of Einstein's theory of general relativity. This theory states that the laws of physics are the same in all ...

Choi and professor John Howell's take on cloaking focuses on building an optical system that images the background. Their theory was that the technicalities of bending or reshaping light around an ...
