An interesting development was presented at the conference TED-2013 (Technology, Education and Design), held in Los Angeles, experts from Nanyang Technical University (Singapore). Cube of transparent calcite crystal makes objects that are located directly behind it, optically invisible. Crystal structure is composed in such a way that the light rays are bent, and skirting the object without creating visible seams or other optical perturbations .
Project leader Professor Jung Bail (Baile Zhang) said that the idea was born out of a joke, but then, he and his colleagues came to the conclusion that the decision may be suitable for a number of serious problems. In the first place, of course, comes to mind creating an army camouflage, but the development can be applied not only in the military sphere. The professor suggested uses for this technology in optical systems and digital cameras. Related Products :
