A thermal invisibility cloak actively redirects heat
Washington DC (SPX) Sep 22, 2015 - Light, sound, and now, heat - just as optical invisibility cloaks can bend and diffract light to shield an object from sight, and specially fabricated acoustic metamaterials can hide an object from sound waves, a recently developed thermal cloak can render an object thermally invisible by actively redirecting incident heat. The system, designed by by scientists at the Nanyang Technological ... more
