Read the article, it's really quite interesting..

Talks of using metamaterials to 'bend light' around themselves, making them invisible to the naked eye.

I can't wait until we can order sheets of that from McMaster.

that is awesome, really, that would been cool to wrap around a cannon and play magic by throwing things that hard

lol I love the way there all talking about getting the harry potter effect as if thats the only use they could possibly think of for it.

I love how they have not ONCE thought of using this tech in an aircraft manufacturing application and adapting them to radar wavelengths.

Im not sure they would announce it to the world if they had, it would make countries nervous.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. We likely already have one in service, anyway.

Classified equipment, and all that.

would have been cool to wrap a drinking glass with it. everybody spills because it looks empty

i didnt know wonderwoman posts on SF... well now we know...

this is actually pretty old, the media is just now finding about this. I read a article in scientific american some time ago.
It said the material makes light flow around it, like water around a pebble.

screw u guys id go into the girls change room or dorm in my collage

You always seem to amaze me with your seemingly unintellegent replies.

Its a great scientific discovery and the ONLY thing you think of are naked chicks. Im sure if you try you could see a woman naked WITH he permission.

I cant completely say your reply is crap because i can think of one immature/un-scientific thing i would do; wrap baseballs, or rocks, in it and thorw it at people.

Wow, technology is becoming more and more advanced everyday. I can't wait 'till these "cloaks" hit the public market lmao (if they ever do). Would make unlawful acts much easier to perform/get away with but I would never do anything like that

Well STHORNE, youve jsut go to know that if they ever do hit the markets, the cops will of course have invisibility detectors. DUH. Haha

Nothing like this will ever hit public markets. EVER. Too many potential uses in the commission of crimes. Although it's always nice to dream...
