#6 - Invisibility cloaks in the offing

Scientists have developed a new technique that sprays metallic nanoparticles into semiconductors, an advance that could boost the efficiency of LED lighting and even pave the way for invisibility cloaking devices. The technique can inexpensively grow metal nanoparticles both on and below the surface of semiconductors, said researchers from University of Michigan in the US.
The process adds virtually no cost during manufacturing and its improved efficiency could allow manufacturers to use fewer semiconductors in finished products, making them less expensive. The metal nanoparticles can increase the efficiency of LEDs in several ways. They can act as tiny antennas that alter and redirect the electricity running through the semiconductor, turning more of it into light, researchers said.
