Made in China "invisibility cloak" is becoming a reality

Xinhua News Agency, Chengdou, April 9-the cloak around covered from head to toe, and then disappeared from sight in the ... ... This scene is a classic scene from the movie Harry Potter, and Chinese scientists ' research, are "invisibility cloak" gradually turned into reality. On April 8, 2016 years material and application seminar held in Chengdu, reveals on the forefront as Metamaterials research, including "stealth" function, a number of applications are realized.

Material is not a natural material, but after people on the structure design, challenge certain natural laws imposed artificial materials to realize the function of electromagnetic modulation and control requirements. Simply put, Metamaterials can be changes and modulation of electromagnetic waves, including light transmission.

In the field of research and applications of Metamaterials, China is already a world-leading. State Key Laboratory of electromagnetic Metamaterials modulation Zhao Zhiya Dr, only in terms of patents, statistics from 2002 to 2015, among Metamaterials relevant patent is about more than 4,000 pieces of relying on national key laboratory of Shenzhen kai has applied for more than 3,000 pieces of domestic and foreign patent, accounted for more than 86% of the entire area. And ultra material coverage of the underlying patents, far more than international companies such as Boeing and Toyota.

中国造“隐身衣”正逐步走向现实

　　新华社成都4月9日电 斗篷一甩，从头到脚遮住，然后就消失在视线里……这一幕是电影《哈利波特》的经典镜头，而中国科学家的研究，正在把“隐身衣”逐步变为现实。4月8日，2016年超材料学术与应用研讨会在成都举行，会上揭示了中国作为超材料研究最前沿，包括“隐身”功能在内的多项应用正在实现。

　　超材料不是一种天然材料，而是结构上经过人为设计，突破某些自然规律限制的人工材料，实现对电磁功能的调制和操控需求。简单地说，超材料可以改变、调制包括光线在内的电磁波传播。

　　在超材料研究及应用领域，中国已处于世界前沿。据超材料电磁调制技术国家重点实验室赵治亚博士介绍，仅就专利而言，统计2002年至2015年，各国超材料相关专利约4千余件，而国家重点实验室所依托的深圳光启已申请3000余件国内外专利，占整个领域的86％以上。而且已实现超材料底层专利的覆盖，远超波音和丰田等国际企业。
