New Royal Navy warship has ‘INVISIBILITY cloak’ thanks to mind-bending quantum navigation guided by lasers
As the atoms move through the sensor, an "optical ruler" is formed by using a series of laser pulses. This allows the acceleration of the atoms to be precisely measured.
While the ship is operated by a very lean crew of five, there is also a team of 25 military personnel, civil servants and contractors behind the scenes. Navy X chose to name the ship XV Patrick Blackett to honour the British physicist who won a Nobel Prize for Physics in 1948. He served in the Royal Navy in the First World War and made a major contribution in the Second World War advising on military strategy and developing operational research – being named the Admiralty's first director of Operational Research.
