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 ...

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 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, professor of mathematics at ...

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 ...

Useful cloaking device is one step closer to reality Cloaking technology takes a big leap forward with a mathematical theory that … ...

The concept of a superlens cloak is a long way from a workable device, but the integrity of the mathematical concept has sent some experimentalists into the laboratory to try and turn the theory ...

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 ...

The experiment tested the cloak with light hitting at a 45 degree angle, and works effectively only within a 6-degree range of angles. Kante said his team is working on ways to expand that.

In a new approach to invisibility cloaking, a team of French researchers has proposed isolating or cloaking objects from sources of heat—essentially "thermal cloaking." This method, which the ...
