Howell became interested in creating simple cloaking devices with off-the-shelf materials while working on a holiday project with his children.

Useful cloaking device is one step closer to reality Cloaking technology takes a big leap forward with a mathematical theory that … ...

Natural materials typically have refractive indices greater than one. Metamaterials, however, can be designed to make the index of refraction vary from zero to one, which is needed for cloaking.

The directions are posted below. Previously, the research team posted a video about how to use mirrors as a simple cloaking device.

Cloaking device 09/23/2011 A Spanish team of researchers has modelled what they say is a new type of cloak that blocks magnetic fields. This "antimagnet" could allow people with pacemakers to use ...

New cloaking devices could hide objects from water waves and currents The materials can reduce drag and wave motion on items in fluids ...

Invisibility, cloaking, superlenses, hyperlenses, super-microscopes, advanced lithography are all closer to being practically achieved. New algorithms were developed and the latest cloaking device was ...

University of Rochester scientists have created a device they're calling "The Rochester Cloak," similar to Harry Potter's invisibility cloak.
