Metamaterials Hold Promise For Invisibility Cloaks


Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley, say they have created materials that bring them closer to creating invisibility cloaks.

They will publish their work in two journals, Nature and Science, this week. The researchers used 3-D metmaterials, or composites with the ability to bend electromagnetic waves, to negatively refract light
