New Material Becomes Invisible to Microwave Radiation with the Flip of a Switch

UMD physicists design self-cloaking material with potential applications in telecommunications and next-generation computing

University of Maryland physicists have developed a new cloaking material that can become transparent to microwave radiation with the flip of a switch. Because many wireless communication devices rely on microwaves, the new material could be used to design more efficient communications networks. Additionally, the material has unique properties that could help bridge the gap between modern digital computers and next-generation “quantum” computers.
