New 3D thermal invisibility cloak makes objects disappear from infrared cameras

Instead of blocking heat, the device guides it around an object, making the object appear invisible to thermal imaging from virtually any direction. Successfully built and tested, the cloak could transform electronics cooling, thermal protection, and stealth technology.
