View Full Version : Scientists create cloak of invisibility broadandbeaver 10-19-06, 03:55 PM http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061019/ap_on_sc/cloak_of_invisibility Well, I guess it had to happen sooner or later. Kinda cool. Not 100% yet but... draqon 10-19-06, 04:01 PM try this: http://projects.star.t.u-tokyo.ac.jp/projects/MEDIA/xv/oc.html Zephyr 10-19-06, 04:17 PM Neat! draqon 10-19-06, 04:17 PM OH yeah! broadandbeaver 10-19-06, 04:31 PM invisible post...LOL! francois 10-21-06, 02:47 PM http://www.youbuynow.com/img/items/114426692167256900.jpg Says the prototype they did only makes objects invisible to microwaves. So you can still see it because it's not invisible to light that we see with our eyes. They do think they'll be able to make it work with our light spectrum eventually, however. I just wonder HOW invisible it will make things. Will cloaked devices still cause distortions in their area? invert_nexus 10-21-06, 02:51 PM This topic already has a thread here: http://www.sciforums.com/showthread.php?t=58951 In that thread, you'll find links to the actual Science abstracts for the various related papers and also a link to the story from ScienceDaily.com. You'll note that the part of the story mentioning the visible spectrum is not a direct quote from the scientists. |
