BBC News - Invisibility cloak created in 3-D

I'm sure we had a thread on this *ages* ago... I searched, but I couldn't find it.

Ha!

    I'm so out of touch, I couldn't care less if a structure can be made to be invisible. I just want the walls to be straight, plumb, and square, and the roof watertight. And if the ceilings are devoid of acoustic texturing, I'm a happy investor.

    "using light of wavelengths close to those that are visible to humans"

    That reminds me of all those TV ads for "gold tone" jewelry.

    But yeah, hey, right now, we can make things invisible to your microwave!
