Optical cloaking: A many-layered solution
Amber Jenkins
The idea of optical cloaking is intriguing and has captured the imagination of both scientists and the general public. In 2005, Andrea Alù and Nader Engheta came up with the idea of using plasmonic and metamaterial 'cloaks' to reduce the scattering properties of objects and thereby render them 'invisible' at particular frequencies.
