The Next Generation Of Stealth Materials

In October 2006, A team of British and U.S. scientists had demonstrated a breakthrough physical phenomena, then only known to science fiction; the world’s first working "invisibility cloak”. The team, led by Professor Sir John Pendry, created a small device about 12 cm across that had the intrinsic property of redirecting microwave radiation around it, rendering it almost invisible to microwaves.
What made this demonstration particularly remarkable was that this characteristic of microwave invisibility was not derived from the chemical composition of the object but rather the structure of its constituent materials. The team had demonstrated the cloaking properties of a meta-material.
WHAT ARE THEY
A metamaterial is a material purposely engineered to possess one or more properties that are not possible with traditional, naturally occurring materials. Radiation can be bent, amplified, absorbed or blocked in a manner that far supersedes what is possible with conventional materials.
PROPERTIES OR REFRACTION
The refractive index of a material varies with the radiation’s wavelength, which in turn also causes the angle of the refraction to vary. Every known natural material possesses a positive refractive index for electromagnetic waves. Metamaterials however, are capable of negative refraction.
HOW REFRACTION IS CONTROLLED
Permittivity is a measure of how much a material polarizes in response to an applied electric field while magnetic permeability is the measure of magnetization that a material obtains in response to an applied magnetic field. As an electromagnetic wave propagates through the metamaterial, each unit responds to the radiation and the collective results of these interactions creates an emergent material response to the electromagnetic wave that supersedes what is possible with natural materials.
FIRST CONCEPTS
The first mention of the properties of metamaterials was in 1904, with the conceptualization of negative wave propagation by British mathematician Horace Lamb and British physicist Arthur Schuster. Veselago’s research included producing methods for predicting the phenomena of refraction reversal, in which he coined the term left-handed materials.
ARTIFICIAL DIELECTRICS
From this, the development of artificial dielectrics during the 1950s and 1960s, began to open up new ways to shape microwave radiation, especially for radar antennae design. Artificial dielectrics are composite materials made from arranged arrays of conductive shapes or particles, supported in a nonconductive matrix. Similar to metamaterials, artificial dielectric are designed to have a specific electromagnetic response, behaving as an engineered dielectric material.
FIRST METAMATERIALS
Pendry’s expertise in solid state physics had led him to be contracted by Marconi Materials Technology in order to explain the physics of how their naval stealth material actually worked. Pendry had discovered that the microwave absorption of the material did not come from the chemical structure of the carbon it was made from but rather the long, thin shape of the fibers. He had figured out how to manipulate a materials electric and magnetic response, effectively allowing for a method to engineer how electromagnetic radiation moves through a material.
SUPERLENS
By late 2000, Pendry had proposed the idea of using metamaterials to construct a superlens. Pendry theorized that one could be developed employing the negative refractive index behavior of a metamaterial. However, in practice, this proved to be an incredibly difficult task due to the resonant nature of metamaterials. By 2003, Pendry's theory was first experimentally demonstrated at microwave frequencies, by exploiting the negative permittivity of metals to microwaves.
CLOAKING
Composed of 21 alternating sheets of silver and a glasslike substance, the material, referred to as a fishnet, causes light to bend in unusual ways as it moves through the alternating layers. What made this particularly notable was that it operated on a wider band of radiation than their previous attempts.
FUTURE OF CLOAKING
Despite the ongoing research and relative success with microwave radiation, to date optical cloaking still remains elusive due to the technical challenges of manipulated light within a metamaterial Light moving through materials typically gets ab­sorbed until, at some point, the energy of the radiation falls off, making it a challenge to guide it’s propagation in a useful way.

    for ppl thinking about optical and gamma ray meta material, you'll need structures about as large as the wavelength to work. For microwave it's easy to make cm or mm sized coils embedded in transparent material, but for light you need sub um sized structure, and for gamma rays smaller. These are hard enough to do in large scales on surfaces (think integrated circuits) At some point it'll need to be smaller than molecules.

    Meta material stealth for visible light will almost certainly be too difficult to get working. Maybe they’ll work in environments where all the light is of a single wavelength (e.g. infrared spotlights at night), and it might even be possible to spoof thermal cameras, but there’s almost a factor of two across the visible spectrum. Just like with anti-reflective coatings, you need to stack them to cover the whole visible spectrum, and that’s a simple case where light is just reflected. To have meta material stealth working on both red and blue light, you’ll need seperate lenses, and to somehow prevent the red lens from bending blue light and vice-versa. You also need to keep the structure extremely rigid, the thermal expansion of a jet aircraft will change the outside by millions of wavelengths which I suspect will also impact stealth. But targeting specific radar bands, that’s definitely possible.

    I think this kind of technology will see most of its use in the near future on spacecraft. Right now, these structures are too delicate and expensive to be put in vehicles going into combat but are perfectly fine in the near-vacuum of LEO or anything further. I’d imagine it would make it much easier to hide spy satellites from enemy detection and make it possible to hide the deployment of actual weapons in space, something that is currently illegal from my understanding. Hiding the launch itself would be another challenge but you could just have a normal communications satellite deploy smaller vehicles equipped with this cloaking technology.

    There's two major issues (one that was mentioned). The bending of EM radiation around the cloak makes it impossible for the object within the cloak to observe the outside world (mentioned) making it only good for hiding an object and not much else. The other problem is wide frequency application. Everything is detectable at some portion of the electromagnetic spectrum (or lack thereof) from RF, visible, infrared, UV, X-ray, Gamma. Can't bend the entire EM spectrum simultaneously.

    Pretty cool research and great video but it seems to me this is going to be really challenging to make something practical that can cover a large bandwidth just like anti-reflective coatings on optics have a limited bandwidth. If you can't make the meta material work at all frequencies, then the counter measure is to have radars and lidars that are either chirped or cover different spectrum's. And with the new emerging technology of frequency combs, the meta materials might already be behind.

    What would happen if you put a microwave source under these cloaking shields? Because another thing that could be done with these is shielding from light and or passive radiative cooling, one of the big hurdles for passive radiative cooling is having less heat come in than is going out, well if you could make something that was a fairly wide band invisible shield in the high microwave mid ir range, you could put something that emits within that range to make something that passively cools.

    I remember reading about something related to several project involving military research into 'cloaking fabric' in the late 90s, to which MIT later produced a very small sample of electrified filament that had stealth properties. Shortly thereafter, cellular phones of the day nixxed the extendable antennas in favor of fractal antennas embedded into the backplates. How much one influenced the other, if at all, is hard to say, but an interesting footnote in technology nonetheless.

    Nice video and presentation. Meta material is an elegant title also discriminative, against competitions on lucrative defense research funding. Shutting off those armchair researchers. The armchair version is: 1. Two, parallel, plane waves meeting face to face in opposite phase can neutralize together totally. 2. A dipole resonator stimulating by radar plane wave can reradiate wave back in opposite phase offering neutralization but total because it was not plane wave but spherical. 3. We needs a returning parallel plane wave. How? Install dipole array covering the stealthy metal object. Caveat? 4. The array must install on fuselage surface and not suitable on metal airplane. 5. Resonator are narrow bandwidth by nature otherwise they don’t resonate effectively and the return phase and amplitude are compromised. 6. If we don’t know the wavelength enemy radar use this scheme is less or non effective. 7. Classical radar are single wavelengths make this scheme work if we match the enemy’s wave length. 8. Modern radar don’t use single wave length. Instead it chirps, ramping wavelength up and down rapidly have made this scheme out of date. Investors must learn that.

    most of these are faraday cages. The problem is that we cant produce common faraday cages for very small wave lengths. But I think if you layered multiple cages, where the previous layer works as a lens to manipulate the wave for the next layer you could probably make some cool absorbing materials. That is what I gained from this, but this is not my main field.

    So if you actually did cloak yourself with this technology you would not be able to observe out through the cloak? So its double sided then? Thats a wild thought. If you ran that through sc fi you'd have to make it so your craft track speed relative to distance or time while cloaked, you'd have to pre program the rout in and AI would be like those R2 Droids mapping out a path for you to take flipping in and out of cloak w/ each change of direction. The give away would be you making that change and another ai predicting where you will be to make an impact. Rock sizzors. Neat concept. Its not a huge deal if you have bombers with that, they would conceivable not need to de cloak they would know where they were dropping the bombs on target on time to land un molested at their base back home.

    We do have gravity detectors. LIGO and VIRGO. The problem with creating a gravity detector that can identify the mass of, say, an enemy aircraft at any usable range is that the gravity field around us is quadrillions of times stronger than the thing we're trying to detect. It's kind of like wanting to detect x-rays, that are not part of the sun's radiation, on the surface of the sun.
