Scientists Nearing Creation of Sound Cloak, Breaking Laws of Physics

While some work toward an invisibility cloak, University of Illinois professor Nicholas Fang is taking steps to create a similar material, only for sound, that could, for example, make ships invisible to SONAR. To successfully do this, of course,...
