Turn invisible? Expert sheds light on matter It was reported that physicists Professor Ulf Leonhardt from the University of St Andrews in Scotland and Visiting Professor at the National University of Singapore, and Associate Professor Tomas Tyc of Masaryk University, Czech Republic, had developed a new theory on bending light around objects. Being able to bend light around objects forms the basis of how cloaking devices work and these could find military applications. The Straits Times, 21 November 2008, Page C14 |
