Original Message Inspiration for cloaking technology has its origins in Star-Trek series and Rowling's fantasy world of Harry Potter.

In a paper published in Science in 2006, John Pendry of Imperial College London and David Schurig and David Smith of Duke University wrote that "a cloak of invisibility is in principle possible, at least over a narrow frequency band" and presented the first practical realization of such a cloak.

Their "cloaking" prototype was impressive but still not perfect as probably expected. Refining the cloaking technology continues.

Now a member of that laboratory has developed a new design that ties up one of the major loose ends from the original device.

These new findings could be important in transforming how light or other waves can be controlled or transmitted. Just as traditional wires gave way to fiber optics, the new meta-material could revolutionize the transmission of light and waves.

Because the goal of this type of research involves taming light, a new field of transformational optics has emerged.
