Title Scientists develop thermal camouflage that can fool infrared cameras Media name/outlet The Guardian Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 27/06/18 Description Scientists have developed a thin, lightweight and flexible film that can outfox infrared cameras, allowing hot bodies to appear cool and cold items to appear warm. The invention can also help camouflage an object by making it appear the same temperature as its background.
The design was inspired by the colour-shifting capabilities of cuttlefish, says Coskun Kocabas, a co-author of the research from the University of Manchester.URL https://www.theguardian.com/science/2018/jun/27/scientists-develop-thermal-camouflage-that-can-fool-infrared-cameras Persons Coskun Kocabas Title A step towards an invisibility cloak: Graphene sheet with 'thermal camouflage' can hide soldiers from infrared cameras Media name/outlet Mail Online Media type Web Country/Territory United Kingdom Date 27/06/18 Description Invisibility cloaks have long been confined to the realm of fiction, but scientists are aiming to change that with a new device that cleverly disguises body heat.
A sheet made using the 'miracle material' graphene can quickly adapt to shield hot or cold objects from thermal-imaging cameras.
The technology could one day lead to full-body suits that camouflage soldiers from state-of-the-art night-vision devices, which are based on thermal imaging.URL www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-5891815/Invisibility-cloak-graphene-glove-thermal-camouflage-disguises-hot-cold.html Persons Coskun Kocabas
