Invisible cloak

27 February, 2011 (08:24)

Just another tidbit from my book that is no longer just on paper and quickly becoming a reality.

The cloaking device that’s turning things invisible was developed by scientists at Birmingham University in England, and recently announced by British media as “a crystal that can exploit light refraction on demand.” Birmingham University chief scientist Dr. Shuang Zhang, who announced the discovery, has compared this new technology as something “we’ll be using in the future.”

Zhang, who’s appearing all over the Internet and other media discussing his team’s discovery, used an example of a submarine that could be completely “cloaked” by this new technology and “virtually invisible to known technology.”

Once they get the kinks ironed out and the military starts using it, we’ll end up seeing it for commercial and private use as well.
