Nanoplastics, pieces of plastic measuring between 1 and 1,000 nm, have found their way into waterways, food systems, and human tissues. Now, using real-world waste samples, scientists have shown that ...

Forward-looking: A team of engineers at the University of Leicester has demonstrated that magnetic cloaking – once a largely theoretical concept – can now be designed in ways that are manufacturable ...

For nearly 20 years, physicists and engineers have chased the idea of invisibility. Early efforts focused on hiding objects from light using so-called metamaterials with extreme and often unrealistic ...
