Inverse-Designed Electromagnetic Cloaking
Can evolutionary optimization arrange natural materials to make a device electromagnetically undetectable under measurable, reproducible conditions?
It could clarify whether natural materials can provide useful electromagnetic cloaking and how narrowly that performance depends on operating conditions.
Where it stands now
Main bottleneck
The available record does not establish the measured effectiveness or operating limits of cloaking with optimized natural materials.
Watch next
A reproducible experimental comparison of an optimized device with an uncloaked reference, measuring scattering reduction and specifying the frequencies and illumination directions tested.
