This lively novel, authored by an expert in the field, takes the reader on a journey to fascinating places and - en passant - on an intellectual adventure involving some of the most fascinating subjects of optics. While enjoying the fun and action of a travel story, the reader will gain an accurate notion of the real science of invisibility, of the light and shade of the business of science, as well as glimpses into different cultures. From the first page, you will gradually become immersed in a different world, the world of the science of light. The book includes an appendix providing interested readers with deeper insights into the fundamental physics of space-time, gravity and light. 410 0$aScience and Fiction,$x2197-1188 606 $aPhysics 606 $aOptical materials 606 $aElectronic materials 606 $aLasers 606 $aPhotonics 606 $aPopular Science in Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Q29000 606 $aOptical and Electronic Materials$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z12000 606 $aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31030 615 0$aPhysics. 615 0$aOptical materials. 615 0$aElectronic materials. 615 0$aLasers. 615 0$aPhotonics. 615 14$aPopular Science in Physics. 615 24$aOptical and Electronic Materials. 615 24$aOptics, Lasers, Photonics, Optical Devices. 676 $a813.54 700 $aLeonhardt$b Ulf$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$061843 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996418162803316 996 $aMission Invisible$92235946 997 $aUNISA
