The Case of the Invisibility Cloak with Andrea Alu

Full Episode description

What are invisibility cloaks made of, and when can we buy them in gift shops? That’s right, invisibility cloaks are not just for wizards anymore. We get into the very real science of invisibility with Dr. Andrea Alu. Dr. Alu is one of the leading scientists working on “cloaking.” We learn how scientists are playing with the laws of physics and optics to turn fantasy into scientific reality.  Have a question for Tumble?
