Invisibility at hand!

[TEAM/MEDICAL]

Cool

A terrible problem will result if they develop a full working suit for a person

I bet the medical industry will become involved and they will start giving people cancer, Damaging peoples kidneys and eyes and heart
so they can have a little secret business of damaging peoples health

Society is going for self destruction as we know it

You know, I'm missing the connection between the invisibility suit and gving people cancers...

The cloak could shield soldiers from night-vision goggles which use only one wavelength of light.

why has so much new stuff been designed to help us kill each other more effieciently? "hurray! he cant see me! now i can kill him and, er, make the country...a better...place..."

on the other hand, think how much fun u could have wearing clothes that make u invisible =D u could pull so many pranks ^_^

when everyone asked what power you would want when you were a kid... i would say invincibility!! this is awsome

The ability to make objects invisible is now being given some serious thought by physicists, with the use of metamaterials (materials which react very oddly to electromagnetic radiation). These materials can theoretically be used to bend light around the object using various forms of refraction and negative refraction. The lines of light (which is electromagnetic radiation along with radio, micro, infra-red, UV, X-ray and gamma waves) will hit the cloaking device and be forced to detour around the object and continue their paths as if nothing was there, hence making it 'invisible'.

According to a guest Professor who gave a lecture at my Uni about the possibilities of this; physicists know how to create a cloaking device, but have not yet had a proper go at it. Although we have the theory and some of the engineering for it, we are miles away from creating something like Harry's cloak

I don't know how useful it will be with today's detection technology, but applications for it will certainly be found I'm sure.
