A new kind of cloaking device can help hide objects from sight. This was bared by David Smith of Duke University in North Carolina. The said cloaking technology can be used to make obstacles that impede mobile communication to virtually disappear.

A new light-bending material has brought scientists one step closer to creating a cloaking device that could hide objects from sight.

“You might have two or more antennas trying to ‘see’ or receive signals, one being blocked by the other,” he said. “You could imagine adding cloaks that would make one antenna invisible to the next, so that they no longer interfered.”

Smith said the notion of a device that makes objects invisible to people is still a distant concept, but not impossible.

“This latest structure does show clearly there is a potential for cloaking — in the science fiction sense — to become science fact at some point,”
