Why Science Rocks...Again

The device itself is composed of a thin cylinder containing 60 concentric rings of copper-coated metamaterials arranged in layers. Each layer is imprinted with alternating patterns of resonant and non-resonant metamaterial structures. The design traps and absorbs microwaves coming from all directions by spiraling the radiation inward and converting its energy into heat. As with a black hole, electromagnetic radiation cannot escape from the device.

Metamaterials strike again as they bend light with a negative refractive index, thus creating effects not found in nature, i.e, invisibility, exotic manipulation of the electromagnetic spectrum etc., etc.

BRT has discussed metamaterial tech before in several articles with Predator Tech  and Invisibility Cloak being two plus a really interesting piece in  Physics World titled 'Worm Holes could be made from exotic materials using metamaterials as a start point to making this a reality.

To boldly go... :)
