"Russian Military Develops 'Invisibility Cloak' Camouflage for Close-range Stealth"

Russia has developed and deployed new camouflage technology, nicknamed "invisibility cloaks," for its troops, as part of the Russian military doctrine of 'maskirovka.' The technology, developed by Russian firm HiderX, involves a camouflage suit that conceals the heat signature of soldiers, effectively making them undetectable from as close as 3 feet away. The suit, with three layers to manipulate infrared radiation, has been tested in Ukraine and is part of Russia's strategy to control and manipulate the adversary's perception on the battlefield.

Revolutionary Device Challenges Kirchhoff's Law for Efficient Energy Harvesting

Researchers have developed a device that can violate Kirchhoff's law of thermal radiation, which states that an object's absorption and emission efficiencies are equal. This breakthrough could have significant implications for energy harvesting systems and camouflage technology. The device combines a material with a strong magnetic-field response and a patterned structure to enhance absorption and emission in infrared wavelengths. By decoupling the absorptive and emissive properties of objects, higher energy conversion efficiencies can be achieved. This experimental proof challenges a law that has been upheld for over 150 years.
