Scientists Unveil Invisibility Cloak Technology Called “Quantum Stealth”
British Columbia based Hyperstealth Biotechnology has developed a technique called “Quantum Stealth,” which is a type of camouflage that bends light around the wearer of an object to create the illusion of invisibility. [1] Hyperstealth is a Canadian camouflage design company, they work closely with the Canadian military which has over two million military issued uniforms and over 3000 vehicles and fighter jets.
Hyperstealth are not the only ones who have developed this technology.
A team of scientists at Purdue University in Indiana has shown that “it can hide events in the path of a continuous light beam by having several holes in time.” Researchers were able to cloak nearly half the data put in the beam’s path, which they would otherwise be able to detect. The study was published in the journal Nature. [2]
“If we part the water so it doesn’t see the dam popping up and down, it isn’t disturbed, and afterwards we can put the water back together so it looks like a nice calm river again. That’s how we control the flow of the light. We’re pushing it forward and backwards in time, so it avoids events that would otherwise disturb it.” [4]
Two researchers from the University of Toronto have also created and tested a new type of active invisibility cloak that can hide objects over a wide range of frequencies.
