Abstract
The anomalous interaction between electromagnetic/acoustic/thermal fields and artificial engineered materials / metamaterials allows obtaining unique properties that can be successfully used to design conceptually new and unprecedented components, such as invisibility cloaks. The course – taught by the most eminent scientists working in the fields of electromagnetic (from DC to microwaves and optics), acoustic, and thermal invisibility – aims at giving the basic principles on the theory, design, and, experiments of metamaterial-based cloaking and invisibility in the different fields of Physics and Engineering.
