New 3D thermal invisibility cloak makes objects disappear from infrared cameras

University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign engineers, together with a Technical University of Denmark collaborator, created and experimentally demonstrated the first three‑dimensional thermal invisibility cloak, using a 3D‑printed aluminum lattice and rubber filler to redirect heat, with infrared camera tests confirming objects become invisible to thermal imaging, results published in Nature Communications.
