Plasmonic cover
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Plasmonic cover is the "invisibility shield" produced by suppression of light scattering by resonating in tune with the illuminating light.
Plasmonic cover was invented by Nader Engheta and his student Andrea Alù. The idea of plasmonic covere is very much like the shielding used by the Romulans in the Star Trek episode "Balance of Terror" in 1966, which hid their spaceships at the push of a button.
