# Metamaterial Cloaking Device

Engineered structures that bend electromagnetic waves to hide objects from detection
- Technology Readiness Level: 4/9
- Impact: 5/5
- Investment: 4/5
Metamaterial cloaking uses engineered structures to bend light or electromagnetic waves around objects, rendering them invisible or stealthy in certain conditions. Successful experiments cloaking small objects under some conditions. Applications: stealth. Challenges: scaling, bandwidth, manufacturing.
