"Yes, you could actually make someone invisible as long as someone wears a cloak made of this material," said Patanjali Parimi, a Northeastern University physicist and design engineer at Chelton Microwave Corp. in Bolton, Mass. Parimi was not involved in the research.

Such a cloak does not exist, but early versions that could mask microwaves and other forms of electromagnetic radiation could be as close as 18 months away, Pendry said. He said the study was "an invitation to come and play with these new ideas."

"We will have a cloak after not too long," he said.

The Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency supported the research, given the obvious military applications of such stealthy technology.

Heh... Very very interesting... I can't wait to hear more about the future of this project... I will definitely try to keep following this news... :]

[concussionman]

Wow....just wow

[DizzyDi]

Oh my.
Wonder how much something like that would cost and exactly how heavy it would be.

[RoninJoku]

I truly do wonder what it would look like to stare at such a cloak... would you truly see right though it? Or would a trained eye be able to tell there was something within the disturbed space? I could only imagine that the light your eyes recieved would be altered in some way...

Wow, that's pretty cool. I'd love to see videos of it in action. Shit, I'd love to slip one on and sneak around a bit.

[Hrigg]

I want one.

great thats the last thing we need is some asshole going around thinking hes the predator picking off people. if this happens its going to put a whole new spin on war (like we really need that) can we say ghost in the shell? still im a bit skeptic on this actually happening i mean sure it sounds and looks good on paper but i wanna see someone vanish in front of my eyes and i don't mean some doctored video on Utube i want it right in front of my face.

Yes, nothing is finalized and you'll be damn sure none of you gaming nerds will be the first ones to get your hands on this, hopefully it never will be widely used and commercially sold.

Like the article said, it doesn't exist yet, but the technology to bend the light is there and it eventually will turn into a cloak.

So just imagine the movie Hollow Man and counter measures (such as infared goggles to see heat waves of the person wearing it) to protect yourself from someone who could be using it for harm.
