With that said, let’s begin #Cloaking101

On Mars they don’t use cloaking, so when you look up you see the Frigates coming in and out of the Martian Atmosphere outside the domes.

It’s important you all understand the basics of Cloaking Technology if we are to keeping you ahead of the curve.

(Phys.org)—Typically when two magnets are brought close together, they either attract or repel each other due to interactions between their magnetic fields. In a new study, researchers have designed a 3D magnetic invisibility cloak, inside of which they placed a magnetic object, and showed that the cloaked magnet is no longer affected by nearby magnetic fields. It appears as if the cloaked magnet has become demagnetized, but in reality the magnet is simply hidden.

The researchers, led by Yungui Ma at Zhejiang University in Hangzhou, China, have published a paper titled "Three-dimensional magnetic cloak working from d.c. to 250 kHz" in a recent issue of Nature Communications. Like other invisibility cloaks, the new cloak is made of metamaterials (man-made materials with repeating patterns) and works by manipulating electromagnetic waves in unusual ways.

To achieve the cloaking effect, the researchers used a new type of invisibility cloak called a bilayer cloak, first demonstrated in 2012 by Alvaro Sanchez and colleagues at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. The cloak has a spherical structure consisting of two shells: a superconducting inner shell (made of single-crystal YBCO) and a ferromagnetic outer shell (made of a nickel zinc composite).

The bilayer cloak consists of an inner superconducting shell and an outer ferromagnetic shell, whose opposite effects on an external magnetic field completely cancel each other out to shield a cloaked magnetic object (yellow) from the external magnetic field.
