Further Advancements in Creating 'Invisibility Cloaks'

Physicists at the Boston College have recently managed to use new metamaterials to successfully control a beam of light employing a set of complex instructions. The achievement could have significant applications in the field of bending light around corners or other objects, and could contrib... [ read more >> ]
