Article: Fractals Enable Wideband Invisibility Cloak.

Invisibility cloaks are the stuff of wizards and alien starships. But on 27 March, 2009 Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc. publicly demonstrated, in reality beyond the fantasy, the first true ‘see thru' invisibility cloak. Demonstrated with a prototype device using microwaves instead of visible light, the cloak's wide bandwidth dramatically expands the capability of the new science of metamaterials and renders another key example of the importance and benefits of fractals in electronics and sensors technology (see also Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc.).

Led by physicist Nathan Cohen, the firm's team wanted to solve a problem: how to make metamaterials practical by ...
