Smart Flexible “Metaflex” Helps to Develop Invisibility Cloak

Scientists at the University of St. Andrews have developed “smart flexible materials” named meta-flex that are made of tiny meta-atoms, which are engineered mixtures of metal and circuit board materials. Invisibility can be achieved by manipulating light, and while metamaterials have previously been produced to manipulate light so that objects are invisible at longer wavelengths, [...]
