The brief
Researchers have developed a 3D thermal cloak capable of concealing objects from heat in any direction. The technology is described as an 'invisibility' cloak that hides an object's omnidirectional thermal signature.
Coverage from Phys.org, Bioengineer.org, The Engineer, and Interesting Engineering emphasizes the 3D-printed nature of the device and its ability to shield objects from infrared cameras. Future developments will depend on the application of this 3D-printed technology to hide objects from heat sources in various environments.
