Scientists say they're closer to invisibility material

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Scientists say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people and objects invisible.
In this 2003 photo, Tokyo University students use space-age material to make this student appear see-through.

Researchers have demonstrated for the first time they were able to cloak three-dimensional objects using artificially engineered materials that redirect light around the objects.

Previously, they only have been able to cloak very thin two-dimensional objects.

The findings, by scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, are to be released later this week in the journals Nature and Science.

The new work moves scientists a step closer to hiding people and objects from visible light, which could have broad applications, including military ones.

People can see objects because they scatter the light that strikes them, reflecting some of it back to the eye.

* Scientists set sights on invisibility cloaks

Cloaking uses materials, known as metamaterials, to deflect radar, light or other waves around an object.

Metamaterials are mixtures of metal and circuit board materials such as ceramic, Teflon or fibre composite.

IMO, this is one thing that probably shouldn't be developed.

Sign me up for one invisibility cloak. What a competitive advantage.

Unfortunately, it will only be available to the military and government agencies before it ever makes its way to the general public. And when it does, it won't be cheap.

Claython just e-mailed me.

He wants to know if they come in Triple X size, something about needing it to get into the Nebraska Cornhuskers men's wrestlers locker room.
