		<title>A small update</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hope that all my readers had a great Thanksgiving and are looking forward to Christmas and the new year. Although I haven&#8217;t written much here, I have been very busy over at Loss of Privacy and The Daily Censored. My position at the junior high also keeps me busy, and exhausted most of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Magnetic Invisibility Cloak</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written before about invisibility cloaks. They seem to be popping up in the news often these days.  Now, physicists have created an invisibility cloak that blocks the magnetic field. Physicists and engineers had already demonstrated rudimentary invisibility cloaks that can hide objects from light, sound, and water waves. Now, they’ve devised an “antimagnet” cloak [...]]]></description>

		<title>Car-to-car communication</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The University of Michigan&#8217;s Transportation Research Institute is set to begin car-to-car communication tests on up to 3,000 cars. This is a big step towards autonomous driving. With a $14.9 million grant from the government, the institute will equip the cars with short range radios in their ambitious test. The cars will create a real-world [...]]]></description>

		<title>Driverless car navigates 286km of highway on its own</title>
		<description><![CDATA[While we are constantly reading about Google&#8217;s driverless car, China has just completed their test of a driverless car. It traveled for 286km on a highway, completely on its own. &#8220;We only set a maximum speed and then left everything to the car itself. It knew the speed limits, traffic patterns, lane changes and roads [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on invisibility cloaks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An undergraduate student has overcome a major obstacle in developing invisibility cloaks. An undergraduate student has overcome a major hurdle in the development of invisibility cloaks by adding an optical device into their design which not only remains invisible itself, but also has the ability to slow down light. The optical device, known as an “invisible [...]]]></description>

		<title>More on invisibility cloaks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[More cool technology used in The Gaven still being worked on. Xiang Zhang and colleagues note that invisibility cloaks, which route electromagnetic waves around an object to make it undetectable, “are still in their infancy.” Most cloaks are made of materials that can only hide things using microwave or infrared waves, which are just below [...]]]></description>

		<title>Acoustic cloaking device</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First proposed in 2008, scientist have now developed an acoustic cloaking device that makes objects invisible to sound. It uses simple plastic sheets with arrays of holes, and could be put to use in making ships invisible to sonar or in acoustic design of concert halls. Those approaches are mostly based on so-called metamaterials, man-made [...]]]></description>
