Researchers create a real cloaking device

[dlevere]

Scientists are now working to take cloaking devices from the dramatic realm of science fiction and make them real.

Amanda D. Hanford, at Pennsylvania State University, is taking the introductory steps to make acoustic ground cloaks.

These materials redirect approaching waves around an object without scattering the wave energy, concealing the object from the sound waves.

During the 175th ASA Meeting, Hanford will describe the physics behind an underwater acoustic shield designed in her lab. This image is a Profile picture of the assembled perforated plate ground cloak. Credit Peter Kerrian
