British researchers have made a breakthrough in wearable “invisible technology”, reports Engadget.
“They have developed a coating that uses graded refractive index nanocomposite materials to reduce an object’s electromagnetic signatures.”
In effect, this means they have developed a way for curved surfaces to appear perfectly perfectly flat to electromagnetic detectors.
Any real-world use is still a ways off, but it wouldn’t just be limited to stealth. It could allow for oddly-shaped antennas or acoustics that work just as effectively as their straight-laced counterparts.
Cloaking would just be the most dramatic use of a technology that could help in many, many fields.
What would you do if you had an invisibility cloak? Let us know in the comments below and in our forums.
