Harry Potter’s iconic “Invisibility Cloak” could perhaps be within our sight. Chinese scientists have devised a camouflage material that adjusts its molecular composition to blend into the background, ...

Magnetic invisibility sounds simple in theory. Place the right materials around an object and magnetic fields flow around it as if nothing were there. Reality has been far messier. For nearly two ...

Researchers claim that the creation of an invisibility cloak is feasible with future technology, and that soon humans could have the ability to blend in with their surroundings. Not content to wait ...

You might think invisibility cloaks exist only in the Wizarding World, but think again. A research team at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) has developed a technology ...

Thermal cloaking advances stealth technology by using nanostructured materials to manipulate heat signatures, vital for military and electronic applications.

Leafhoppers are the only species that secrete brochosomes: rare nanoparticles with invisibility properties. But for the first time, a group of scientists has created their own synthetic brochosomes.

Needles made of lasers are being used at the University of Cambridge to assemble nanoparticles into larger segments that could one day be used to make an honest-to-goodness cloaking device. Share on ...

Though desktop 3D printers are a relatively new method of manufacturing, you might argue that they're already at a plateau. You can print cute figurines, teacups that might have a leak, and sometimes ...
