Description: A model of an invisibility cloak, provided by mathematician Sébastien Guenneau of Liverpool University, UK. The metamaterial cloak smoothly bends light around the logo so that it disappears. For more on Guenneau's work see http://www.newscientist.com/blog/technology/2007/05/up-close-and-invisible.html To read about a working cloak see http://www.newscientisttech.com/channel/tech/dn10334

XxHirokixX ::: Favorites Didn't you see what was happening? The object in the middle was rejecting microwaves, making it seem invisibile. 07-08-05 20:53:00 __________________________________________________
oxyharmonic ::: Favorites Ah, I see.... or I don't (Pun pun)... so I guess the outer black circle is the thing doing all the refracting and bending.... interesting idea... you'd need a funny kind of lens to pull it off though... 07-06-01 08:14:50 __________________________________________________
B4TT3RY ::: Favorites I believe the yellow and red are showing the movement of light, while the stationary object in the middle is being cloaked. Light in most circumstances would usually be interrupted by a stationary object, here the light travels around the object and continues on it's path. 07-06-01 03:53:57 __________________________________________________
