UA Engineering professor Hao Xin has overcome a major research hurdle in the race to build invisibility cloaks and other fantastical devices.

Since the beginning of recorded time, humans have used materials found in nature to improve their lot. Since the turn of this century, scientists have studied metamaterials, artificial materials engineered to bend electromagnetic, acoustic and other types of waves in ways not possible in nature.

Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak is a step closer to reality: 3D printed device that bends light could make objects disappear 

Scientists have been attempting to create invisibility cloaks long before Harry Potter made it popular. But, because of the way they bend light, current designs have always tended to draw more attention to the object than they deflect. Now, a US researcher claims to have overcome this problem by integrating battery-powered devices into his design - and he claims an invisibility cloak will be created in his lifetime. Read more...
