UC Berkeley Researchers Developed Coatings that Can Create False Infrared Images

In a paper published in the journal Advanced Materials, two UC Berkeley researchers described how to imbed visual "decoys" into surfaces of objects in a way that can fool people into thinking they detect a specific image in the infrared that actually isn't there. This kind of technology could prove useful for military and intelligence agencies to ensure national security.
