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 ...

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.

A physicist at the University of Rochester is trying make Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak a reality. Professor John Howell’s first attempt at the optical illusion, captured on video a year ...

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 can be scaled up as large as the size of the lenses, allowing fairly large objects to be cloaked. And, unlike some other devices, it's broadband so it works for the whole ...

As a graduate student, Choi, of Raytheon, worked on the team that developed the “Rochester Cloak,” a device that bends light around an object using four small lenses and a light source—it ...

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 ...

Students at the University of Rochester have developed a clever optical system which allows for limited invisibility thanks to a bit of optic sorcery physics. Almost all invisibility technologies ...

The Oct. 26, 2006 RF Report described a demonstration of cloaking--making an object invisible--conducted at Duke University and Imperial College in London. Allan Greenleaf, professor of mathematics at ...
