Scientists thought up an invisible raincoat

From Institute of technology of Karlsruhe developed an unusual invisible raincoat. Unlike a set of devices of this type, the new material hides objects from touch. The German scientists reported about the opening in the Nature Communications magazine.. The new metamaterial consists of thin acerate cones with adjoining tips. The raincoat is made by a method of optical lithograph by direct laser recording. As a result fabric through which neither the finger, nor the measuring device will feel nothing turned out — even if to put under it a hedgehog. German researchers are going to find for it a place in real life.
