3D object made invisible for the first time by US researchers

amazing, the technology is still in its infancy. give it 10 15 years and we may have something fully developed
 
The breakthrough, however, rendered the cylinder invisible only in microwave wavelengths. It was still visible to the human eye, the scientists said in their research published Wednesday in the New Journal of Physics.

Oh, so the title of this article is NOT FROM THE POINT OF VIEW OF A HUMAN. Thanks for the sensationalist bull.

Just because the article did not live up to the first mental image that popped up in your mind does not make the article or topic any less significant that what it really is, next time read and comprehend. :D

Interesting concept. Now work on the visible spectrum. If con artists can do it surely science can. :twisted:
 
3D object? How do you get a non-3D object?

That's a good laugh.

- The Emperor's new Clothes!

(I'm impressed by the science itself - it's the deceitful journalistic title, falsely luring one to read a useless article that I abhor)

So they must make tinfoil out of this stuff so we can reheat food in the microwave without a fireworks display!
 
Obvious military applications - read the whole article people;)
