Scientists Built a 3D Cloak That Makes Objects Almost Invisible to Thermal Cameras
Researchers from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the Technical University of Denmark have created a 3D-printed thermal cloak that redirects heat around objects, making their infrared signature nearly invisible. Tested with an apple-shaped core between plates at 40 °C and ice‑cooled water, the device kept surrounding temperature patterns undisturbed.
