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.

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

this could reverse the progress for seeing inside other spectrums. Maybe something for the paranormal field technicians?

Please!!! Do you really think if they succeeded in making an invisibilty suit they would make it available to the general public??Think of the amount of murderers and rapists out there that would just love to get there hands on them - not to mention it greatly intruding on everyones privacy. It would be strictly kept within the military and government agencies for covert black-ops.

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.

Yeah hmm those collors become different.Well looks like here is a well-known logic behind it.
