Kavlarakos~SPARTA~ Posted March 20, 2010 Share Posted March 20, 2010 (edited) I just found something highly interisting in the web more accidentially: http://www.nonstoptechnews.com/179327/3d-i...f-metamaterials It seems that a research team of the University of technology in Karlsruhe found a way to let an object optically disappear. They described it like they were building a kind of reflecting carpet around the object so that only a kind of "knob" remains and then they just hide the "knob". The result is that this object appears to be invisible even when observed from different angles, which was until yesterday impossible. Before it was only possible to cloak something in 2 dimensions not in 3. Edited March 20, 2010 by Kavlarakos~SPARTA~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
