DURHAM, N.C. — Using a new design theory, researchers at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering and Imperial College London have developed the blueprint for an invisibility cloak. Once devised, ...

Invisibility has quietly shifted from fantasy to engineering problem, and the most convincing proof is not a shimmering cape but a magnetic cloaking device that makes fields themselves vanish from ...

There’s something that some of us want to believe — something weird and wondrous and, to be frank, scary. We envision a world in which the sort of invisibility cloaks, the kind that appear in Harry ...

Could invisibility cloaks become a reality? New research brings this science fiction concept a step closer, with a breakthrough software package that simulates how waves interact with complex ...
