Invisibility cloak made from Teflon can be created in just 15 minutes

2013-09-10 16:54:01| Extremetech

Chinese researchers have succeeded in using a highly novel approach to craft a Teflon-based invisibility cloak in just 15 minutes. The process, called topology optimization, uses computer software to algorithmically and automatically design a material with specific qualities -- such as an invisibility cloak. The design, once desired qualities have been achieved, is then produced using a 3D printer or similar computer-controlled manufacturing device.
