Prof. Ulf Leonhardt is an expert in invisibility: in fact, Scientific American named him one of its top 50 policy, business, and research leaders for his work on invisibility devices. In this presentation at TEDxBrussels, Prof. Leonhardt describes how we encounter the phenomena that render things invisible in everyday life, and how science can be used to produce invisibility – as well as the design of cloaking devices. Enjoy this video of his TEDxBrussels talk.
