Scientists at Duke University have created the first invisibility cloak that perfectly hides centimeter-scale objects. While invisibility cloaks have been created before, they have all reflected some ...

Harry Potter has nothing on the researchers at Duke University, who say they’re getting close to developing an actual invisibility cloak. While the fictional wizard uses his cloak to roam the halls of ...

Duke University has built the first 3D omnidirectional acoustic invisibility cloak. The cloaking device, which takes the form of a pyramid of perforated plastic, is hidden from sound waves striking it ...

DURHAM, N.C. — A team led by scientists at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering has demonstrated the first working “invisibility cloak.” The cloak deflects microwave beams so they flow around ...

Harry Potter fans, rejoice. A cloak of invisibility, like the one featured in the movies, is now a reality -- on a much smaller scale at least. Inventors have been working toward this for a while now, ...

DURHAM, N.C. — Using a new design theory, researchers at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering and Imperial College London have developed the blueprint for an invisibility cloak. Once devised, ...

Engineers at Duke University, North Carolina, have used 3D printing to create an object that can shield against detection from microwave beams. Michelle Starr is CNET's science editor, and she hopes ...

Durham, NC -- Scientific American magazine has named two Duke researchers to its top 50 leaders list for their work on developing an "invisibility cloak." The names of David R. Smith and David Schurig ...

Three animations show how incident waves reflect away from a surface, with and without the metamaterial cloaking device in place. The cloak makes waves reflect as if the "bump" were not there.
