…Invisibility Cloaks.

"Researchers are one step closer to creating shields that could render parked tanks and aircraft virtually invisible.

Debashis Chanda of the University of Central Florida and his fellow researchers have developed a technique to much more quickly create the "metamaterials" with the potential to bend light rays around objects, creating, in effect, invisibility.

In 2007, a group of engineers from Purdue University created a "cloak" design of cylindrically-arranged nano-needles that could deflect light around an object in somewhat the same way that light, when it hits water, bends around the object just beneath the surface, or a hot flat expanse, can create the illusion of water near desert horizon. Rays of light, composed of photons, change in shape depending on the atomic properties of the objects that they encounter. The Purdue researchers could hide only large stationary objects because of the design's limits in terms of electromagnetic wavelength…"

That is pretty cool.

Hope we get it soon, and the bad guys don't.
