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.

Yes. Only …
Yes. Only government agents should be allowed to murder, rape, and invade our privacy.

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

this could reverse …
this could reverse the progress for seeing inside other spectrums. Maybe something for the paranormal field technicians?
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
of course he would …
of course he would mention star trek.haha

steve mer!!! lmfao
anyways this would b a huge breakthrough

Please!!! Do you …
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 …
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 …
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 …
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 …
Yeah hmm those collors become different.
Well looks like here is a well-known logic behind it.
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
and we didn’t even …
and we didn’t even get to see it work?

global warmin is …
global warmin is just an excuse for a global tax you ignorant noob, ppl like you are the problem
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
All the things you …
All the things you mentioned are not caused by funding science they are caused by greed and corrupt governments.
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Actually the united …
Actually the united states came up with Light bending technology for suites for the military to cloak. Theres also another way using a set of mirrors to reflech the enviroment. But light bending they use primarely cause they use it on jets.
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
It’s not about …
It’s not about scientists finding answers to our problems. It’s about the government not funding it and just people in general. In the US people waste a lot of just about everything and most don’t even attempt to recycle anything. So if you want to point fingers don’t do it at them. And what, do you expect scientists to pick up after you before they can research something they’re interested in?
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
I think you need to …
I think you need to retake English. At least learn how to spell.
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Could this be used …
Could this be used to prevent global warming?
Since light is waves. The radiation from light
in theory could be blocked or bent around the earth. Less heat the sun, less melting of the ice caps.

Lol, where are you? …
Lol, where are you? Why can’t I find you, I don’t want to deal with you i’m wearing my invisibility cloak….
Lol that would be funny.

You think …
BadBoy0c
You think that every scientist works in the same exact thing? Well you’re wrong, there a group that try to solve world hunger, gas prices, and all that stuff, but there are other groups that study genetics, vehicles and all that stuff. ( oh and the Japanese are also working, but the one showed around the net is fake ) Why are you here typing on youtube when you could solve the world’s problems. TRY TO BE A BIT SMARTER.
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Well if they …
Well if they develop an invisibility cloak then our soldiers can use it and never get killed because the enemy can’t see you.
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
what?
what?
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
Scientist can also …
Scientist can also teleport atoms across great distances. Next molecules. Then DNA. Then organisms. It seems Star Trek was not just fantasy.

BORING

This is so….. …
This is so….. hilarious! This is how we become invisible. HAHAHAHA. These guys should spend some time with me to really learn how to be invisible.
August 17th, 2009 at 10:12 am
as amazing as this …
as amazing as this is….. theres no point to it, it will be mostly be used for killing,murder,thieves, breaking the laws,wars, and etc.
