Unveiling the invisible cloak
Last Updated Thu, 25 May 2006 14:45:49 EDT
CBC News
In an engineering breakthrough that is still to be seen, scientists have unveiled a blueprint to make an invisibility cloak, like the one worn by author J.K. Rowling's boy wizard Harry Potter.

A team of British and American researchers outlined the materials they say would be needed to make such a cloak in Thursday's online issue of the journal Science.

The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, sponsored the research because of its potential military applications in the field of stealth technologies.

A cloak made of a "metamaterial" wouldn't reflect light or cast a shadow.

All light or other electromagnetic waves would be steered around the object, making it invisible, said study author David Smith, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Duke University in Durham, N.C.

"The theory has only now become relevant because we can make metamaterials with the properties we are looking for," Smith said in a release.

No such cloak exists yet, but the first versions for masking radiation such as microwaves could be made in about 18 months, said study co-author John Pendry, a physicist at Imperial College London.

The cloak could also have applications for wireless communications, the team said.

"This is very interesting science and a very interesting idea and it is supported on a great mathematical and physical basis," Nader Engheta, a professor of electrical and systems engineering at the University of Pennsylvania, told the Associated Press.

Engheta was not involved in the study, but he is also working on metamaterials.

I made one, then I put it down and it cloaked itself and so I lost the damn thing.

Actually, it's an inside joke between Prometheus and I.

Besides, I wouldn't read those books if you fuckin' paid me.

I have of course seen the movies. Which I admit are mildly entertaining.

And that's it.

Wow... sounds very Star Trek like.  Hmm... art imitating life, as always.  In this case, science.

It's neat, how people think things up, years, if not centuries in advance, and eventually, once technology advances, anything is possible.

The helicopter comes to mind.  Didn't DaVinci draw pictures of it, and discuss what it was, what it could do, etc...?
