The thermal poncho is key in Russia's new infiltration tactics as small groups of footsoldiers attempt to avoid being spotted ...

Materials scientist Coskun Kocabas and his team have created a thin, flexible device that can disguise the temperatures of objects captured by thermal imaging in real time. Kocabas anticipates that ...

Hunters don camouflage clothing to blend in with their surroundings. But thermal camouflage - or the appearance of being the same temperature as one's environment - is much more difficult. Now ...

A team of researchers have done something pretty remarkable with graphene, and it has nothing to do with battery technology or next-generation semiconductors. Instead, they developed a graphene-based ...

Military-grade thermal sensor systems can spot otherwise well-hidden soldiers from as far as a mile away. Over the past decade, advanced infrared weapons sensors have become less expensive and easier ...

In the movie Predator, Arnold Schwarzenegger hid from an alien's night vision system by covering himself in mud. He might have found things much easier, however, if he'd had access to a ...

What’s you’re seeing above is a a CV90 light tank outfitted with BAE Systems’ ADAPTIV, a form of camouflage that can be used to trick heat-sensing technology. According to its designers, ADAPTIV can ...

Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have developed a strange new nanocrystal material that can switch between gel and liquid states in response to temperature or other triggers. This ...

Camouflage technologies rely on effective integration with the surrounding environment, which can significantly reduce the detectability of targets and thereby enhance their concealment. With the ...

Scientists have created a graphene-based material that can outwit thermal cameras by masking hot objects. The film provides a layer of camouflage by appearing to match the ambient temperature, ...

Most state-of-the-art night-vision devices are based on thermal imaging. Thermal cameras detect infrared radiation emitted by an object, which increases with the object's temperature. When viewed ...

Many of our camouflage methods are inspired by natural creatures. The same is true of a new flexible device that is the result of a nanoscience endeavor at the School of Materials and National ...
