Science has taken one more step towards creating a true real-life cloaking device. Assistant Professor Andrea Al?in and his colleagues at the University of Texas at Austin have successfully created a cloaking device capable of "hiding" a 3D object in free space from microwaves. The team describes how they used a "plasmonic" shell to hide a cigar shaped object from one microwave polarization in their pre-printed paper on arXiv.
