Due to advances in materials science by Stockholm researchers, changing the shape during flight to better handle airflow passing through its aircraft wings may be imminent. The trick involves the melting and drilling capabilities of lasers.Researchers from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden conducted experiments on paraffin. Using the 2D version of the material, they were able ...

A team led by Professor Ye Dexin and Professor Chen Hongsheng from Zhejiang University, as well as Professor Yu Luo from Nanyang University of Technology, conducted practical research on full parameter transformation optical devices. The research team has designed and implemented an all parameter omnidirectional invisibility cloak based on the theory of linear transformation optics and omnidirecti...
