"A Spanish team of researchers has modelled what they say is a new type of cloak that blocks magnetic fields. This 'antimagnet' could allow people with pacemakers to use medical equipment or protect ships from mines... The findings of the Spanish team are built on research by John Pendry [Physics] and his team at Imperial College London... 'The Spanish group has come up with a new design for the metamaterials which builds on what he have done,' Pendry, who was not part of the new research team, told Deutsche Welle. 'They claim it is a much more realistic possibility than what we proposed.'"
