Coverage reveals the device uses a 3D-printed aluminum lattice combined with a rubber-like material to control heat movement. Researchers positioned the cloak between hot and cold regions and used infrared cameras to confirm it successfully redirected heat around concealed areas while maintaining surrounding temperature patterns.

“A real thermal cloak should work no matter where the heat comes from. Our device can hide a complex 3D object in an infinite number of directions while keeping the temperature inside stable and protected.”
