Ultrathin Three-Dimensional Thermal Cloak by Xu, Hongyi, Shi, Xihang, Gao, Fei, Sun, Handong, Zhang, Baile

“…The cloak’s thickness is 100  μm while the cloaked air bubble has a diameter of 1 cm, achieving the ratio between dimensions of the cloak and the cloaked object 2 orders smaller than previous thermal cloaks, which were mainly realized in a two-dimensional geometry. This work can find applications in novel thermal devices in the three-dimensional physical space.…”
