The 'stealth sheets' that can hide soldiers and even vehicles from infrared cameras

A team of researchers have developed a device that can make soldiers and vehicles disappear. ​

Called the 'stealth sheet,' it's a paper-thin device that can obscure objects from being detected by a drone's infrared cameras. 

The sheet measures less than a millimeter wide, making it about as thick as 10 pieces of paper, but it can effectively make objects invisible from a drone's view. 

It's made out of bendable silicon and can hide about 94% of the infrared light it encounters, according to the study, which was authored by researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

They hope that it eventually will be used to help soldiers and their gear stay safe on the battlefield.
