Shaman Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 It can make objects disappear before your very eyes - but only if you have microwave vision. I've just happened to read this article, check it out: http://technology.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn12611&feedId=online-news_rss20 http://technology.newscientist.com/channel/tech/mg19225755.300-invisibility-cloak-is-here-at-last.html http://publish.aps.org/DLO/L02Aug07abs_0075.html Any ideas how this discovery could be adopted for warfare? 51PVO Founding member (DEC2007-) 100KIAP Founding member (DEC2018-) :: Shaman aka [100☭] Shamansky tail# 44 or 444 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] 100KIAP Regiment Early Warning & Control officer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weta43 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Microwave vision - you mean like radar ? That is pretty crazy eh? Saw an article about it a little while ago & posted a link, but only sponge thought it interesting :-) Last October, scientists at Duke demonstrated a working cloaking device http://forum.lockon.ru/showthread.php?t=23625 Technology of the future ...

VMFA117_Poko Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 I think I read somewhere about invisible coat made by (?) Japaneese or US (?). Nevermind, can't remember. The coat was covered with very small monitors IIRC. Efect was similar to seen in "Predator" movie (sic!). Anyone can correct me or knows something more about it? Is this the same technology as above?

Weta43 Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 The article I linked to is archived, but: (It) cloak works by steering light around an object, making it appear as if it is not there. It is based on a new breed of "metamaterials", which can be tailored to have exotic electrical and magnetic properties not seen in nature. These materials are made up of complex arrays of metal washer-like shapes and wires that are smaller than the wavelength of microwave light and so interact with it. In June, John Pendry, a theoretical physicist at Imperial College London, UK, and colleagues showed it was possible to build an invisibility cloak using such materials (New Scientist, 3 June, p 13). Now David Smith and his team at Duke University in ... Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
