The Rochester researchers have shown a proof-of-concept demonstration for such a setup, which is still much lower resolution than the nearly perfect imaging achieved by the Rochester Cloak lenses.

The ‘Rochester Cloak’, developed in 2014, was a simple optical device that used four lenses in a row to bend the light, hiding anything placed immediately behind it. Researchers who produced ...

Hats off to scientists at the University of Rochester in New York, who have managed to produce a cheap ‘invisibility cloak’ effect using readily available materials and a lot of clever thinking.

At long last, a practical invisibility cloak is here. But the Rochester Cloak is not some futuristic, sci-fi belt, or a wizard’s cape: it’s just a clever configuration of standard lenses that ...

The Rochester researchers have shown a proof-of-concept demonstration for such a setup, which is still much lower resolution than the nearly perfect imaging achieved by the Rochester Cloak lenses.

Researchers at the University of Rochester have found a way to improve their Rochester Cloak, a real-life invisibility cloak, by using flat screen displays to widen the range of angles that can ...

University of Rochester scientists have created a device they're calling "The Rochester Cloak," similar to Harry Potter's invisibility cloak. Who needs magic when you have science? Noted to match ...

Two scientists at the University of Rochester have taken invisibility cloaking back to basics. Their novel arrangement of four standard, off-the-shelf lenses keeps an object hidden (and the ...

John Howell, a physicist at the University of Rochester, invented the Rochester Cloak, an arrangement of lenses that bends light around the object in front of it. Earlier, he invented another ...

Watch out Harry Potter, you are not the only wizard with an invisibility cloak. Scientists at the University of Rochester have discovered a way to hide large objects from sight using inexpensive ...

Late last year, Choi and John Howell at the University of Rochester investigated invisibility principles in optical spatial cloaking. They produced a scalable cloaking device that uses four ...
