China claims it has created a 'super material' that's INVISIBLE and 'could make FIGHTER JETS impossible to see'

• A lab in Shenzhen has reportedly built an assembly line for metamaterials
• They are surfaces engineered on the nanoscale to perform specific tasks
• China claims the lab has successfully produced invisiblity material in bulk
• One news site indicated Beijing could use the material to build warplanes

China has built an assembly line to mass produce cutting-edge 'super materials' that can perform the previously impossible, according to the Chinese state broadcaster.

So far, the assembly line located in a lab in Shenzhen has manufactured different types of materials, including one that renders objects invisible, reported China Central Television Station in a documentary released last week.

Although the station didn't explain what the invisibility cloak 'metamaterial' would be used for, according to Chinese news portal Sina, it is likely to be used on the country's warplanes, particularly the J-20.

What the Chinese refer to as 'super materials' are generally known as metamaterials, which are a new class of finely-engineered surfaces that could have properties unachievable with conventional materials.

Some metamaterials can bend infrared radiation such as visible light, which means they could be used to create invisibility cloaks.

And according to the Chinese Central Television Station, the Chinese scientists have managed to make such invisibility materials in bulk.

We can make a real stealthy fighter.

Better don't speak about it. Devulging such info can be a real negative for China.

Usually research article and mass media reporting doesn’t go hand in hand. Metamaterial cloaking works in only one definite resonance frequency, so even if it is implemented, it could be very well be visible in other range of frequencies.

My MS graduate thesis was on Plasmonics and Chiral Metamaterials, so hold some basic grasp on this subject.

If we can't see it how the Indians going to believe in it?

Endless cheerleading will take you nowhere, I repeat nowhere...

Looks like China wins

You are just jealous of Pakistan and China's friendship!

Piggybacking on someone's progress will take you nowhere.

Since the Kuang-Chi team can use the "super materials" to make radar-evading near-space balloons(as seen on TV) that stay afloat for weeks and/or months, it sure has made the "skin" for stealth fighter jets as amply implied in the same documentary.

Appreciate where it is due, don't be a jealous Indian all your life.

See through my past posts in this forum. I have appreciated China's progress. All I am saying is appreciating is one thing but cheerleading is another.

It leads to JF17.
