Staff of University of Iowa could create flexible and expanded a stealth covering from pool metamaterials which can absorb electromagnetic waves, in particular, to hide warplanes from a radar.
The covering which received the name "meta-skin" is made of the special composite materials possessing the properties which aren't found in the nature. For example, manipulation with electromagnetic waves. At the same time, thanks to deformation of meta-skin, this manipulation is made in a wide range of frequencies.
"Dispersion and screening of EM-radiation, possible by means of our disruptive technology, will provide it a number of applications, first of all in military equipment" — says Liang Dong, one of key a razrabotchikov.obespecheniye of good pull.
