From the 1933 classic The Invisible Man to the more recent Harry Potter series, devices that achieve invisibility have been popular parts of film fantasy. In recent years, scientists using special types of meta materials have shown that fantasy invisibility could one day become reality.
Invisibility is all the rage in 2008 but according to a new paper in the latest issue of Optics Express, current techniques are already obsolete.
Certain materials underneath an invisibility cloak would allow invisible objects to be seen again and a group of Chinese researchers are already working on an anti-cloak to cancel out your invisibility. Cloaking is an important problem since invisibility can help survival in hostile environment, says Huanyang Chen of Shanghai Jiao Tong University in China.
A new method for the functionalization of graphene
An international research team involving Professor Federico Rosei of the Institut national de la recherche scientifique (INRS) has demonstrated a novel process to modify the structure and properties of graphene, a one atom thick carbon. This chemical reaction, known as photocycloaddition, modifies the bonds between atoms using ultraviolet (UV) light. The results of the study were recently published in the prestigious journal
Nature Chemistry.
Graphene has outstanding physical, optical and mechanical properties. For instance, it is commonly used in the manufacture of transparent touch screens, in aerospace, and in biomedicine. This material, however, has limited use in electronics.
