Invisibility Cloak Findings at Duke University

A team led by scientists at Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering has demonstrated the first working "invisibility cloak." The cloak deflects microwave beams so they flow around a "hidden" object inside with little distortion, making it appear almost as if nothing were there at all.

Yes. Only government agents should be allowed to murder, rape, and invade our privacy.

Way cool! The humans have cloaked, off the port bow, Captain.

Isn't there something called RPT material or something. And a cloak made of it with a camera installed in the back can render a person invisible when the filmed material is projected in the front.

I think some organic films can conduct or divert light along it's surface who cares if it makes things completely invisible as long as it provides a significant advantage over standard camoflage it would be acceptable.

Give it 10, 20 years and see if anything useful comes out, right now the ability to "cloak" a very narrow band is only practical for telecom, for any actual "cloaking" you'd have a better effect just by going out at night wearing black.

and we didn't even get to see it work?

[xdyingfetusx69]

global warmin is just an excuse for a global tax you ignorant noob, ppl like you are the problem

[malevolentburrito]

All the things you mentioned are not caused by funding science they are caused by greed and corrupt governments.

Actually the united states came up with Light bending technology for suites for the military to cloak. Theres also another way using a set of mirrors to reflech the enviroment. But light bending they use primarely cause they use it on jets.
