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.

so now its at the state of active camoflage (remember, halo fans?) now to find a material dense enough to do that with higher frequencies, such as light waves....

Exactly what I was thinking!

何て言いようか分からんばい。

thats not the way to go about it. I think the solution will ultimately be more subtle such as bending all the light waves around the object.

what if you make a freconesy that absorbs all lightsand repls ultra vilot so any thing behind it would not show up

can't you broadcast opposite amplitudes from an object to cancel it out and then broadcast the information received from behind it all part of a sphere of transmitters and receivers?

Personally, I'll just stick to the old invisibilty cloak (I mean from the HP books, of course)
