A team of scientists is trying to make the kind of invisibility clothing that has been seen in everything from the Harry Potter series to Star Trek a reality. The researchers of Vollebak, a start-up company in London, have come down to build the invisibility clock.
Surveillance cameras are increasing day by day in the country and the city. The researchers’ first attempt was to make the wearers invisible to these cameras. Later, scientists are trying to develop that technology further and make clothing to become invisible.
∙ Research progress
As the first step in trying to make this amazing clothing a reality, researchers with the University of Manchester are trying to create a thermal camouflage (Thermal Camouflage). The wearer can become invisible in front of an infrared camera.
It will take 5 to 10 years to develop a computer-programmable jacket
∙This garment is a computer-programmable jacket.
This brings us closer to the goal of creating a cloak that can become invisible. Researchers say the thermal cloak could be a crude form of an invisibility cloak.
The primitive form of the thermal mask consists of 42 layers of graphene. Each of these will be made of 100 layers of pure graphene. Each of these graphene layers can be controlled separately. Heat transfer on the surface of the jacket can be controlled without increasing the heat. These 42 parts are connected by gold and copper wires. Each part will carry a different type of voltage.
Ionization (ions) is conducted between each graphene layer by adjusting the voltage. The more ions ejected, the less thermal radiation is emitted. A light gray color is created by this process.

TheThis is what Vollebak researchers strive for. They also make the wearer invisible from the infrared spectrum.
∙ Uniting different sectors
last three years, they have been trying to integrate different sectors. The fields of physics, optical materials, electronic control systems, textile manufacturing and engineering are brought together to create a unique wearable garment. Meanwhile, the Gaveka team explains that the garment will also be an optical device.
When the garment is held in front of infrared cameras, it is said that instead of being able to detect the heat emanating from the human body, it can only see the patterns of a popular computer game.
Important thing to note is that it can emit different levels of thermal radiation to all 42 parts of the garment. In doing so, it can blend in with its surroundings and avoid being caught by infrared cameras, Vollebak’s team explains.
Next, the researchers aim to reduce the size of the graphene panels. This can increase the camouflage ability of the jacket. A sufficient number of graphene panels and electricity can make a person invisible in a forest. Or they say they can make a plane invisible on the runway. In its current state, the jacket can only render invisible to the infrared spectrum. But the researchers think that this can be realized after years.
Graphene is a highly tunable material. That is, it can react differently in the infrared spectrum and the visible spectrum when energy is passed into it. The researchers also say that in principle, graphene can change color depending on the proportion of energy it transmits. They say that a device that can control wavelengths could make invisibility clothing easier to manufacture.
The garment as it is now made is a primitive form. Researchers say that it is not ready for sale. At the same time, it is also said that it is impossible to predict in advance what the cost of such a garment will be once it is manufactured.

Musk.Musk is currently paying $54.20 per share for Twitter. However, it is said that it would be easier for Musk to do business if he reduced at least $4 from this. According to Bloomberg, the talks between the two groups have failed.
Musk was cut off for unnecessary comments about Taiwan
ANI reports that Musk, who does not hesitate to express his own opinion about anything, has angered China and Taiwan with his remarks
aboutTaiwan and China are the heartlands of the global technology manufacturing sector. The international community wants to keep Taiwan as an independent state while China tries to annex it. Musk has suggested that Taiwan should be made a Special Administrative Zone (SAZ) of China. Taiwan responded that it was encroaching on its autonomy and that Musk did not oppose the move by the Chinese Communist Party. China’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that Musk has broken the Laxmana line.

Apple iPhone 6 series, 5c and third-generation iPad mini devices may not get official support for a long time. That said, Apple will not service them if they break. Mac Rumors reports that the company will no longer manufacture the components.
