Thermal Camouflage Jacket

From Zachariah Kelly's 9-28-22 GIZMODO article entitled "This Thermal Camouflage Jacket Is a Step Closer to Real Invisibility Cloaks":

Researchers say they are a step closer to creating an invisibility cloak, with the development of a jacket that hides the thermal signature of the user.

The research team, a collaboration between Vollebak and the University of Manchester, believes being able to hide the thermal signature of the wearer is one important step toward creating a truly invisible cloak.

As you can see in the image of the device, however, it is still very visible. Noticeable, even.

“The prototype Thermal Camouflage Jacket proves the viability of wearable thermal camouflage for the first time and I can now confidently say that the concept of an invisibility cloak is no longer science fiction,” said Coskun Kocabas, a professor of 2D device materials at the University of Manchester.
