WASHINGTON — Scientists say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people and objects invisible.
Researchers have demonstrated for the first time they were able to cloak three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that redirect light around the objects. Previously, they have been able to cloak only very thin two-dimensional objects.
The findings, by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, will be released this week in the journals Nature and Science.
