The twist here is that this cloaking doesn't refer to making stuff invisible to the human eye but to be fully undetectable by radar.
Researchers are still tampering with the laws of light and physics. They recently developed tiny antennas that prevent the waves from reflecting back to the detector of a radar, basically blinding the radar, thus blinding the persons behind it.
However though, the antennas can be printed flat and contain flexibility, randomly I think of the ultimate ninja suite #STEALTH
The most interesting part is they have the potential to cancel out "LIGHT WAVES".
Lets break it down and it's really simple to.
Based on my knowledge human beings are able to see objects because of reflected light (light bouncing of an object)
The antennas is said to contain the potential to cancel light waves from being reflected from them, So if I were to wear a suite of those tiny antennas.......I would become invisible, right?
As time progresses Cloaking Technology will become a reality in the sense of invisibility and not just undetected (1/4 invisible ).

Interesting, I've always thought that these technologies would use some sort of nano cameras which would actively change to the environment surrounding the object. - Keiran
ReplyDeleteI also heard of such, the cameras are said to project what's behind the person or object to the front, to me that's more blending than going invisible.
