Experts create invisibility cloak

A US-British team of scientists has successfully tested a cloak of invisibility in the laboratory.

It works by deflecting the microwaves around the object and restoring them on the other side, as if they had passed through empty space.

But making an object vanish before a person's eyes is still the stuff of science fiction - for now.

The researchers say that if an object can be hidden from microwaves, it can be hidden from radar - a possibility that will ensure interest from the military.

Well, this will add a whole new meaning to the word 'stealth' eh?

And because they have been able to do this with microwaves, they anticipate being able to do this with light waves in the next 5 to 10 years!

Can I place my order for a Cloak Of Invisiblity now please?

That WOULD be fun, but it could also be used for nefarious means!
