Chinese researchers have moved a long-running science fiction fantasy into the realm of working hardware, unveiling a ...

In an important step toward the development of practical invisibility cloaks, researchers have engineered two new materials that bend light in entirely new ways. These materials are the first that ...

Two independent groups of physicists have built invisibility cloaks that can shield large objects lying on a plane. These “carpet cloaks” are far closer to the intuitive idea of an invisibility cloak ...

Selecting colors that complement each other is key when wearing cloaks with cardigans. Earthy tones like olive green or ...

Invisibility cloaks have been around in various forms since 2006, when the first cloak based on optical metamaterials was demonstrated. The design of cloaking devices has come a long way in the past ...

Cloaking devices are a kind of holy grail for physicists. The ability to hide objects from plain sight would be a remarkable achievement with applications ranging from medicine to the military. To ...

We love a brand that keeps it real, and Jambys certainly does that: With its collection of “performance inactivewear,” the clothing brand focuses on being as comfy as can be, thanks to some seriously ...
