British invention can bend light the hyper-material stealth clothing to become reality

The name of "Metaflex" of new material, you can let the movie "Harry Potter" · the kind of stealth clothing becomes a reality

According to the daily mail on 5 November, a United Kingdom scientist recently produced a name of "Metaflex" of new material, you can let the movie "Harry Potter" · the kind of stealth clothes become reality.

In fact, scientists have devised before you can make the objects in the long-wave in the unseen material, but for objects in the shortwave optical in stealth effect not only need this material of atomic energy to bend light reflex channel and Atomic volume must also be small enough.

But small Atomic made of materials often very hard, and doesn't fit into the soft clothing.

Scotland, St Andrews University researchers believe they've found the solution to this problem.

They use new technology for manufacturing a "hyper-elastic membrane materials" "Metaflex". The so-called "Super material" refers to some natural materials not available in the exceptional physical properties of artificial composite materials.

"Metaflex" can change the structure of the atoms to a better distribution of the "control" of various wavelengths of light.

These films together they constitute a flexible "intelligence camouflage cloth". Scientists believe that the future development of camouflage clothing. In addition, this kind of film materials used in the lens also can greatly improve the lens filter effects.

The results of this study were published in the latest of the new journal of Physics ".

When it comes to their future application, researchers said: "the most exciting Metaflex is available through layers superposition of these films, to produce three-dimensional and soft ' Hyper-material ', this will help us explore the ultimate solution to control light. ”
