Call it what you will — the world's first 3D nanoantenna or an invisibility cloak — but a new metamaterial created by Rice University scientists could hide objects from human sight. Call it what you will — the world's first 3D nanoantenna or an invisibility cloak — but asight. By creating perfectly aligned dimples in a material, the scientists channeled specific wavelengths of light from many directions into one uniform direction. "This falls into the broad class of metamaterials that have useful and unusual properties, like cloaking," said Naomi Halas, Rice University scientist and co-author of a paper describing the material in Nano Letters. "In a broader picture, you could do some very interesting things with this metamaterial."
I love how the advert for the "flat stomach" is in the middle of that story.Now the tummy would be a good thing to make invisible.
