"Researchers at the University of California in Berkeley have developed a material that can bend light around 3D objects making them "disappear".Soon you'll be able to do what you always wanted to: mow your lawn naked without your elderly neighbors pressing charges. (image from u.s. consumer product safety commission, which seems sort of ironic. do they really condone driving a lawn mower while invisible?)
The materials do not occur naturally but have been created on a nano scale, measured in billionths of a metre.
The team says the principles could one day be scaled up to make invisibility cloaks large enough to hide people." (bbc)
