Singapore scientists closer to creating cloaks of invisibility.
While the invention can hide only small objects and animals, acting only in one plane.
A team of scientists from Nanyang technological University under the guidance of Zhang Baile working on the project for three years. We are talking about a small device capable of using the effect of mirrors “hide“ part of the object, the other part of which continues to be visible.
As noted invented, at this stage, they face a key task is to expand the range of disappearance of objects, not limited to one-dimensional technology.
Scientists believe that in the future, the invention can be used for defense purposes. It is expected that it will make soldiers completely invisible on battlefield, even with the use of the enemy’s night vision devices responsive to thermal radiation.
