Researchers and engineers have long sought ways to conceal objects by manipulating how light interacts with them. A new study offers the first demonstration of invisibility cloaking based on the ...

Small imperfections in a wine glass or tiny creases in a contact lens can be tricky to make out, even in good light. In almost total darkness, images of such transparent features or objects are nearly ...

Astronomers have recently uncovered a colossal dark object outside our Solar System that defies direct observation. This enigmatic entity, with a mass equivalent to a million suns, challenges existing ...

Researchers at the National University of Singapore have built a beam of darkness that can make objects invisible from a long distance away. This isn't the plot from some not-so-distant sci-fi movie: ...

The approach could be applicable to securing data transmitted over fiber optic lines and also help improve technologies for sensing, telecommunications and information processing, researchers say. The ...
