Book Description
What Is Cloaking Device A cloaking device is a hypothetical or fictional stealth technology that may make things, such as spacecraft or persons, partly or fully invisible to sections of the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum. This makes the cloaking device a potential candidate for application in real-world stealth technology. Over the course of many years, many different forms of media have exploited fictitious cloaking technologies as narrative elements.

Book Description
Discover the astonishing story of an infamous and deadly confrontation with this thrilling original Star Trek novel. The year is 2311, a year of infamy for the United Federation of Planets. It is the year of the Tomed Incident, and its tale can at last be told. In the midst of escalating political tensions among the Klingons, the Romulans, and the Federation, Starfleet goes forward with the inaugural flight of the Starship Universe, a prototype that promises to revolutionize space exploration. But the Universe experiment results in disaster, ravaging a region of space dangerously close to the Romulan Star Empire, apparently confirming suspicions that the Federation has begun testing a weapon of mass destruction. As the military buildup accelerates on both sides of the Neutral Zone, Captain John Harriman of the Federation flagship Enterprise NCC-1701-B is fated for a final confrontation with his oldest enemy at a flashpoint in history—with the Beta Quadrant one wrong move from the outbreak of total war.

Pages : 256
Book Description
Turning fifteen now, Simon Dreamlee has been allowed to produce his musical production about forbidden teen aged love. Characters resemble Diana Magicdream, the Outsider from Newville with ties to Dreamville and himself, but, they don’t know that. Simon secretly keeps in contact with Diana and their communiqués could have him and his descendants banished from Dreamville forever. Simon quickly learns that his play is not being well received by a small majority of Dreamvillians who do not look like themselves. Simon and his friends are falling ill, still able to dream, but, just miserable when awake. They boycott Simon’s production unsuccessfully, however, this scares Simon into not wanting to share anymore dreams. When King Régimand DreamRoyal is waiting in the hover parkade for Simon and his parents, Simon knows that nothing is right in Dreamville. The dreamy King shows them the secret passages to and from the hover parkade to Dreamtrue School where Simon’s production goes on for Dreamvillians who are still supportive. Simon’s quickly asked to turn himself into the dream police and he learns that the current Dream Squad chief, Louisa DreamNot is the evil Miss DreamNot’s daughter.This knowledge ignites Simon’s ability to dream about the truth, although, this time the clues are more sparse and incoherent.

Book Description
The year is 2020: Corporations control everything. In the name of domination, these sprawling organizations have recruited their own military forces to fight clandestine battles against one another---a war fought in the boardrooms and won in the shadows, with the public none the wiser. Ex--bounty hunter Joanna Dark has unwillingly seen the front lines of this war. Her run-in with dataDyne, the world's most powerful hypercorporation, has left her with a wound that only vengeance can heal. Daniel Carrington, the charismatic founder of the Carrington Institute, has been locked in an ongoing war with dataDyne for years and sees Joanna's deadly skills as the key to victory over their mutual enemy. But Joanna is young and lost, unable to accept her abilities as virtues or fully trust Carrington's intentions. But when an explosive secret is unearthed---one that could finally bring down the threat of dataDyne once and for all---Joanna finds herself thrust back into the fight, one that brings her face to face with her past . . . and the forces shaping her future.

In the future, privacy is a thing of the past. "Staggeringly smart… Hanberg's expertly honed storytelling is sleek and fast… [an] entertaining tale." —Kirkus Reviews Nevada, 2081. Colonel Byron Shaw safeguards the world’s innermost secrets. From a control center in Area 51, he monitors the expansive surveillance system that once saved him certain death at the hands of ruthless kidnappers. But not everyone trusts technology that peers through strangers’ eyes, so it’s no shock when a guerrilla attack nearly wipes out the network and spills his blood. Tasked with tracking down the terrorist cell, Byron sets off on a globe-spanning chase that brings him to the outer edge of Earth’s atmosphere. But as he infiltrates their ranks, a growing suspicion about the system that preserved his own life could sabotage civilization. Torn between duty and doubt, one man’s decision could rewire humanity’s future. The Lead Cloak is a tech-savvy sci-fi adventure novel. If you like high-stakes action, thought-provoking dystopian themes, and gripping twists, then you’ll love Erik Hanberg’s cerebral page-turner.

Acoustic Metamaterials
Author: Richard V. Craster
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9400748132
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
About the book: This book is the first comprehensive review on acoustic metamaterials; novel materials which can manipulate sound waves in surprising ways, which include collimation, focusing, cloaking, sonic screening and extraordinary transmission. It covers both experimental and theoretical aspects of acoustic and elastic waves propagating in structured composites, with a focus on effective properties associated with negative refraction, lensing and cloaking. Most related books in the field address electromagnetic metamaterials and focus on numerical methods, and little (or no) experimental section. Each chapter will be authored by an acknowledged expert, amongst the topics covered will be experimental results on non-destructive imaging, cloaking by surface water waves, flexural waves in thin plates. Applications in medical ultrasound imaging and modeling of metamaterials will be emphasized too. The book can serve as a reference for researchers who wish to build a solid foundation of wave propagation in this class of novel materials.

Nonlinearities in Periodic Structures and Metamaterials
Author: Cornelia Denz
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 3642020666
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
Optical information processing of the future is associated with a new generation of compact nanoscale optical devices operating entirely with light. Moreover, adaptive features such as self-guiding, reconfiguration and switching become more and more important. Nonlinear devices offer an enormous potential for these applications. Consequently, innovative concepts for all-optical communication and information technologies based on nonlinear effects in photonic-crystal physics and nanoscale devices as metamaterials are of high interest. This book focuses on nonlinear optical phenomena in periodic media, such as photonic crystals, optically-induced, adaptive lattices, atomic lattices or metamaterials. The main purpose is to describe and overview new physical phenomena that result from the interplay between nonlinearities and structural periodicities and is a guide to actual and future developments for the expert reader in optical information processing, as well as in the physics of cold atoms in optical lattices.

Quantum Optics and Nanophotonics
Author: Claude Fabre
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0198768605
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 479
Book Description
Over the last few decades, the quantum aspects of light have been explored and major progress has been made in understanding the specific quantum aspects of the interaction between light and matter. The domain of classical optics has recently seen many exciting new developments, especially in the areas of nano-optics, nano-antennas, metamaterials, and optical cloaking. Approaches based on single-molecule detection and plasmonics have provided new avenues for exploring light-matter interaction at the nanometre scale. All these topics have in common a trend to consider and use smaller and smaller objects, down to the micrometre, nanometre, and even atomic range. The summer school held in Les Houches in July 2013 treated all these subjects lying at the frontier between nanophotonics and quantum optics, in a series of lectures given by world experts
