"WASHINGTON (AP) — Scientists say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people and objects invisible. Researchers have demonstrated for the first time they were able to cloak three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that redirect light around the objects....."

This is so cool. I want. You know how cool this would be on stage. Alluva sudden bam! chic on stage. What do you guys think?
Re: Be invisible (science news)
GAH!!!! I want this!!! I've always said, if I could have a super power I'd want to be able to be invisible!
Ohhhh! It's not fair if they keep this all to themselves, is it? Hehehe. I could be a great super hero, I just know it. :D

Exciting stuff! I'm a total science geek.
I expect it will be a long drawn out process to get to the final goal though.
The 2004 breakthrough made with regards to teleportation is amazing as well

Hearing about that got me interested in quantum physics and specifically quantum computing because I am pursuing a computing degree which tends to focus on very outdated information, and heck I want to learn about something NEW.
I always regret not formally studying physics.

something tells me all this will be used for is war tactics.

^^Of course! I can see them now scuttling across the sand in their invisible cloaks. Just to think if they made it into an invisible mask? People would rob banks more.

You are probably right (although I can imagine people are already working on how to counteract the materials effect!).
If a finished product were released commercially all hell would break loose!
It is an invaluable aid to all manner of crimes, but hey maybe its a good time to get into the security industry :P Plenty of opportunity for new inventions to stop sneaky people there.

I would so be in places where my ass doesn't belong.
