Japanese Scientist Creates Invisible Cloak

In summary, scientists in Japan have developed an improved version of an invisible cloak that uses a camera and active camouflage technology to render objects invisible. This technology is demonstrated in a video on the second link provided, which also showcases other projects and types of invisibility cloaks, such as the Plasmonic Cover made in Pennsylvania. This technology has various applications and is more advanced than simply standing behind a TV.

And they improved it. (Go down to see new version)

^ include videos and other projects

In the second link, if you want to see the best invisibile cloak the scientist made in japan, go all the way down to the page.

The scientist made like a camera behind the cloak, which when turned on, making the cloak like a tv screen,adapting active camouflage.



Other types of invisible cloak:

Plasmonic Cover: renders objects invisible (made by people in Pensylvania)

There are more types of invisibility cloaks, search it up.

Those links are broken.

Dave, it's the same as saying that holding a closed circuit tv set in front of you makes you invisible, which is all that this person is doing, but wearing it.

As is explained at the links, this has more applications than does a non-tracking monitor. Standing behind a TV does not make one appear translucent, yet this technology does.
 

Related to Japanese Scientist Creates Invisible Cloak

1. What is the "Japanese Scientist Creates Invisible Cloak"?

The "Japanese Scientist Creates Invisible Cloak" is a scientific breakthrough in the field of optics, where a team of Japanese researchers have developed a technology that can make objects appear invisible to the human eye.

2. How does the invisible cloak work?

The invisible cloak works by using a special material called "metamaterial" that can manipulate light waves. The material is designed with unique properties that allow it to bend and manipulate light, making objects hidden behind it appear invisible.

3. Is the invisible cloak able to make any object completely invisible?

No, the current technology is only able to make small objects, such as a coin or a pencil, appear invisible. The size and complexity of the object determine the effectiveness of the cloak.

4. Can the invisible cloak be used for practical purposes?

While the concept of an invisible cloak may seem like something out of science fiction, there are potential practical applications for this technology. It could be used in military operations, surveillance, and even in the development of more efficient solar panels.

5. Are there any ethical concerns surrounding the use of the invisible cloak?

As with any new technology, there are ethical considerations that need to be addressed. The invisible cloak could potentially be used for nefarious purposes, such as invasion of privacy or espionage. It's important for scientists to consider the potential consequences and regulations surrounding the use of this technology.
