美國(guó)科學(xué)家制出“隱形斗篷”US scientist makes strands of “invisibility cloak”
A physicist at the University of Texas Dallas has successfully created the elusive invisibility cloak immortalized in the pages of Harry Potter.
一位美國(guó)德克薩斯大學(xué)的物理學(xué)家成功研制出了《哈利波特》故事里面的“隱形斗篷”。
Ali Aliev, the researcher behind the feat, said he was able to make the cloak using carbon nanotubes, which look like thin strands of thread.
這項(xiàng)壯舉背后的研究員阿里-阿利耶夫稱他能利用碳納米管制出這種斗篷。這種隱形斗篷看上去就像薄線衣。
Mr Aliev told MSNBC: "We really can hide objects. ... We can switch for a short moment and make it disappear.”
阿利耶夫先生告訴微軟全國(guó)廣播公司的記者：“我們真的可以隱藏物體……我們能用很短的時(shí)間切換空間并使之消失。”
In a video posted to YouTube, the strands are seen appearing and disappearing during a demonstration in Mr Aliev’s lab.
發(fā)布在You Tube上的一個(gè)視頻展示了阿利耶夫在實(shí)驗(yàn)室里讓這些細(xì)線出現(xiàn)以及消失的景象。
He told the network: “It's interesting for ordinary people, because usually [scientists] show something micro sized under some microscope. But here, in real time, real objects [were] disappearing.”
他告訴網(wǎng)友們說(shuō)：“這個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)對(duì)普通人來(lái)說(shuō)是很有趣的，因?yàn)榭茖W(xué)家們通常只在顯微鏡下展示一些極其微小的東西。但是這在里，真實(shí)的物體立即就消失了。”
In Sweden, scientists are working on an invisibility cloak which could protect tanks from heat seeking missiles.
在瑞典，科學(xué)家們正致力于研制一種可以保護(hù)坦克避開(kāi)熱導(dǎo)飛彈的隱形斗篷。
The new technology has scanners to read nearby buildings and terrain and can reproduce their pattern of hot and cold on panels on the hull of the vehicle.
這項(xiàng)新技術(shù)已經(jīng)用于掃描讀取附近的建筑物和地形，以及重現(xiàn)車輛外殼的冷熱面板格局。
