Heat has always been the hardest part of the spectrum to hide, yet a new experiment that boosts thermal scattering by a ...

“Experimental validation shows the fabricated superscatterer amplifies the thermal scattering signature of a small insulated ...

Materials scientist Coskun Kocabas and his team have created a thin, flexible device that can disguise the temperatures of objects captured by thermal imaging in real time. Kocabas anticipates that ...

Most state-of-the-art night-vision devices are based on thermal imaging. Thermal cameras detect infrared radiation emitted by an object, which increases with the object's temperature. When viewed ...

Scientists have created a thermal illusion device to control thermal camouflage and invisibility using thermotic materials. Every natural object exhibits thermal signatures. However, if these signals ...

Military-grade thermal sensor systems can spot otherwise well-hidden soldiers from as far as a mile away. Over the past decade, advanced infrared weapons sensors have become less expensive and easier ...

A team of researchers have done something pretty remarkable with graphene, and it has nothing to do with battery technology or next-generation semiconductors. Instead, they developed a graphene-based ...

How do you become invisible to a device that doesn’t need visible light to see you? Thermal imaging cameras, which can be useful in daylight as well night, work by detecting infrared radiation. As the ...

Camouflage technologies rely on effective integration with the surrounding environment, which can significantly reduce the detectability of targets and thereby enhance their concealment. With the ...

In the movie Predator, Arnold Schwarzenegger hid from an alien's night vision system by covering himself in mud. He might have found things much easier, however, if he'd had access to a ...

Hunters don camouflage clothing to blend in with their surroundings. But thermal camouflage - or the appearance of being the same temperature as one's environment - is much more difficult. Now ...

Many of our camouflage methods are inspired by natural creatures. The same is true of a new flexible device that is the result of a nanoscience endeavor at the School of Materials and National ...
