NEW FIELD. "A field of physics has recently appeared -- transformation optics -- which allows looking at the fundamental laws of optics from a new angle, and creating new research areas in the science of light. One promising application for transformation optics is the development of cloaking devices." https://lnkd.in/enxaHbT View in LinkedIn

CLOAKING is the subject of the next series of postings. Unanticipated, except in the heated fanciful brain of writers, cloaking today is a brand-new discipline, born in 2006 with the invention of metamaterials, that is opening a number of very surprising and quite wonderful doors for the application of technology.

CLOAKING AND TRANSFORMATION OPTICS are a consequence of negative refractive index materials. "John Pendry proposed in 2006 a way of controlling electromagnetic radiation using metamaterials that could obscure objects– transformation optics was born. Pendry et al., showed this theoretically and experimentally in 2010 but there are still many issues before perfect cloaking can be realized." https://lnkd.in/e6UMwZt View in LinkedIn

AS WE STUMBLE FORWARDS in our headlong race in the dark, it turns out that we are actually unexpectedly opening new doors almost every year, revealing possibilities either thought impossible, or not conceived at all. One of these doors is the really remarkable subject of cloaking, made possible only by metamaterials, that do unnatural tricks with light and waves. Onwards into that dim but thrilling room.

PLANT IMMUNE RESPONSES. "However, in some cases, the presence of effectors is detected by resistance (R) proteins, which leads to a very strong immune response typically associated with programmed cell death and is often called effector-triggered immunity (ETI)." https://lnkd.in/eWZ-igq View in LinkedIn

PHOTONS. "In many ways light and nanoscience do not mix well. By convention light can be focussed to a spot no smaller than about a micron whereas nano structures by definition are three orders of magnitude smaller in scale. However recent theoretical advances show how to control light at the nanoscale, provided we can find the correct materials for our devices." https://lnkd.in/eVf6BPv View in LinkedIn
