Duke University unveils Klingon cloaking device

Duke University researchers have developed a cloaking device that is actually, um, a cloak. They have designed a nanotechnology-based material that has the property of bending electromagnetic radiation, including visible and infrared light. The picture accompanying this article shows someone in a cloak with the background behind them clearly visible.

the new material, according to the referenced article, is a narrow strip measuring 20 inches by four inches...clearly the photo in the article is for illustrative purposes only. i know, you didn't say it was the real thing, but you implied it.

Liar! I have studied this project for a while now. And the "cloak" can only cloak somthing from microwaves! So NRJMike is right! So there!
