Physicists in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at MIT have developed a new theory derived from calculations that suggest it should be possible to construct an electron cloaking device, similar in principle to invisibility cloaks that other researchers have created using meta-materials. The team, whose study was recently published in Physical Review suggests that such a cloaking device could be useful in making semiconductors that optimize electron mobility.
