The news has broken: we are all going to be able to purchase cloaks of invisibility in a few years. Or perhaps not. Some recent research from Berkeley is a big step and will, no doubt, find many ...

Remember the villain in the movie “Predator,” an alien that could stalk Arnold Schwarzenegger‘s character even in the dark of night using its thermal vision? Well, good news for anyone in Arnold’s ...

RAILWAY AGE, OCTOBER 2023 ISSUE: What exactly is stress? It’s a tough—and often-asked—question. Welcome to “Timeout for Tech with Gary T. Fry, Ph.D., P.E.” Each month, we examine a technology topic ...

Invisibility cloaks may not be a reality yet, but a new method of building materials with light could one day be used to make these kinds of cloaking devices, researchers say. The novel technique ...

A face-serum staple just helped a research team build an invisible film that conducts electricity like a metal. At La Trobe University in Melbourne, the group used hyaluronic acid to guide the growth ...

Windows are responsible for more than half of all heat loss and heat gain in buildings. In 2024, buildings accounted for about 30% of all global energy consumption, according to the International ...

The material is based on fictional dinosaurs and squids. While these fantasy elements add a touch of the esoteric, the resultant technology has a practical use and it could be used to protect soldiers ...

have found a new way to image layers of boron nitride that are only a single atom thick. This material is usually nearly invisible in optical microscopes because it has no optical resonances. To ...

In a huge achievement spanning both chemistry and physics, scientists have found a way to create entirely new classes of material that can bend oncoming light around them, making them appear invisible ...
