The idea of turning invisible could be closer to 'science fact' than 'science fiction'.
Researchers at the University of Texas have for the first time used an invisibility cloak to make a three-dimensional object.
One cloaking technique uses so-called meta-materials to redirect light, creating 2-dimensional invisibility; another uses a heat panel to create a mirage effect, bending the light to trick the eye.
The latest advance uses plasmonic meta-materials to cancel all reflected light. No reflection means the object disappears into 3-dimensional invisibility.
Al Jazeera's Jonah Hull reports from London.

yeah... glad to see ... yeah... glad to see a non--excessively-dogmatic spiritual person. perhaps you should become? a Baha'i
I was really ... I was really excited until the point when he mentioned it for military use and I realized? how dangerous it can become if used improperly like criminals walking around invisible.o.O
we could be ... we could be biologically altered to see in the uv and infared spectrum. it's not been tested or proven, but it's possible via genetic manipulation? (i.e. with viruses that alter chemical production in the eye). It'd probably be too dangerous to try on a human... but maybe in the future...
que ordinaria? la ... que ordinaria? la calidad del video
So a counter to ... So a counter to invisibility would be a headset to allow soldiers to see in different light perspectives. In other? words we will all have armies of 'predators'.
no reflected light ... no reflected light means the object appears black. this? is for radar stealth.
@ ... @forgottenmemories63 so u are? atheist...so after you die when u gonna meet God and u'll be all like ''oh no! u are real!!'' and he'll be like ''sorry but you live all those years on earth and you never believed in me,sorry but u going to hell''? i hope u have fun there ;)
5? Pts. to ... 5? Pts. to Gryffindor.
god is a hoax ? god is a hoax ?
WTF does God has to ... WTF does God has to do with this ?
You religious people are really desperate when you come to Scientific videos and say God has something to do with? it Lol You know religions are dying and you can't do anything :P
shutup? lol shutup? lol
Of course, of ... Of course, of course, what could be more reasonable than believing an all powerful god really gives a s**t about a specific country? I guess? it must be their tourist attractions.
I think? I have ... I think? I have this device in my wallet
the u.s have ... the u.s have already invisibilty suits there are certain evidence you just beed to? look
Why not? The only ... Why not? The only thing that limits that possibility is the size of? Israel. If Israel was at least at large as Turkey, you bet they would be a super power worth fearing.
Cloaking an ... Cloaking an aircraft this way wouldn't work for long anyway, because the? enemy can easily develop a device to detect black spots - caused by this method of cloaking.
In other words, this discovery has a lot of hype, but in fact, useless.
This cloaking ... This cloaking technique is only good for hiding from machine detection - e.g. Making an airplane stealthy. It cannot cloak a person in plain sight unless the environment is pitch black, in which case, no? cloaking device is needed any way.
(( ???? ??????? ... (( ???? ??????? ???? ???? ))
Nothing is ... Nothing is impossible
God
Given us the golden? mind
microwaves are ... microwaves are lower? frequency than visible light...
so called ufo ... so called ufo aliens cloaking devices uses these.
oh look cloaking ghosts is on the? news etc.
Okay do you want me ... Okay do you want me to explain this to you? When someone? tells you its an inside job, yes you go: "Oh conspiracy". But if you never took a look at it let me explain it to you okay?
I would have to see ... I would have to see it? to believe it. Until then I'm not convinced.
So you still think ... So you still think 911? was not an inside job.
AND PEACE? 2 THE ... AND PEACE? 2 THE WORLD
Good Weapon to kill ... Good Weapon to kill the NAZI's Terrorist of the World " WHITE? HOUSE "
i just found? this ... i just found? this funny strategy game with little devils on devlings.com :))) it says public institutions are full of devils and you can capture them:)))
Perfect weapon for ... Perfect weapon for the terrorist in? iraq and afghanistan.
Editorial: Amended crime scene bill creates problem
It was in the finest tradition of representative government that state Sen. Donzella James, D-Atlanta, proposed an amendment to a House bill restricting public access to some crime scene photos. Her amendment would extend that restriction to recordings of some 911 calls and some police dashboard video camera footage. And given the sensitive nature of such material, it's hardly surprising the Senate would vote 50-0 in favor of amending the House bill.
