Which race had a cloaking device in Star Trek?
Cloaking device inspired in part by the 1958 film "Run Silent, Run Deep," and in part by "The Enemy Below," which in turn had been released the previous year, 1957, imagined cloaking as a space-travel analog of a submarine submerging, and employed it in the 1966 "Star Trek" episode "Balance of Terror", in which he introduced the Romulan species. (He likewise predicted, in the same episode, that invisibility, "selective bending of light" as described above, would have an enormous power requirement.) Another "Star Trek" screenwriter, D.C. Fontana, coined the term ""cloaking device"" for the 1968 episode "The "Enterprise" Incident", which also featured
Cloaking device it re-radiated microwaves of the same frequency that were out of phase, thus cancelling out reflections from the object being hidden. The device only cancelled out the scattering of microwaves in the first order. The same researchers published a paper on "plasmonic cloaking" the previous year. University of Rochester physics professor John Howell and graduate student Joseph Choi have announced a scalable cloaking device which uses common optical lenses to achieve visible light cloaking on the macroscopic scale, known as the "Rochester Cloak". The device consists of a series of four lenses which direct light rays around objects which would
