Make Your Own Invisibility Cloak With a 3D Printer

Posted by samzenpus on from the now-you-see-it-now-you-don't dept.

cylonlover writes "Invisibility cloaks have been around in various forms since 2006, when the first cloak based on optical metamaterials was demonstrated. The design of cloaking devices has come a long way in the past seven years, as illustrated by a simple, yet highly effective, radar cloak developed by Duke University Professor Yaroslav Urzhumov, that can be made using a hobby-level 3D printer."

    I think it can be integrated in flying cars, to have invisible 3D-printed flying cars.
