Invisibility cloak

A model of an invisibility cloak, provided by mathematician Sébastien Guenneau of Liverpool University, UK.

The metamaterial cloak smoothly bends light around the logo so that it disappears.

For more on Guenneau's work see http://www.newscientist.com/blog/technology/2007/05/up-close-and-invisible.html
