Nick Fang of the University of Illinois created a two-dimensional acoustic cloak that can hide underwater objects by manipulating sound waves. “We are not talking about science fiction. We are talking ...

A team of scientists says they’ve found a specific kind of light wave that can pierce directly through objects, making it seem as though they were totally invisible. This new approach, however, is a ...

Astronomers have recently uncovered a colossal dark object outside our Solar System that defies direct observation. This enigmatic entity, with a mass equivalent to a million suns, challenges existing ...

In recent years, invisibility has become an area of increasing research interest due to advances in materials engineering. This research work by the UEx, which has been published in Scientific Reports ...

WASHINGTON -- Researchers and engineers have long sought ways to conceal objects by manipulating how light interacts with them. A new study offers the first demonstration of invisibility cloaking ...

Researchers in the US have made a “carpet cloak” that makes objects invisible to sound waves. The device is the first such cloak to work in air and could be used to improve the acoustics in concert ...

Our Universe is full of exotic objects and phenomena, and we have built telescopes and satellites to try and attain a deep understanding of it all. Sometimes, objects in space come to our aid and they ...

Using gold flakes, salt water, and light, scientists have made the universe’s invisible binding forces visible in color. The discovery opens new possibilities for studying how matter organizes itself ...

The approach could be applicable to securing data transmitted over fiber optic lines and also help improve technologies for sensing, telecommunications and information processing, researchers say. The ...
