Predator Cloaking Technology Coming Soon?

Scientist now say cloaking technology is becoming a reality.

WASHINGTON — Scientists say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people and objects invisible.

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, led by Xiang Zhang, 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.

Pretty cool stuff - as long as it doesn't fall into the wrong hands. Imagine if the Caped Crusader that Mr. Xoom posted on earlier had had this technology.
