why just stop at visible light, couldn’t this also be used to trick infrared cameras as well?

of course you can’t see it. it’s in nanometer scale.

It is an incredible development! For the record the correct spelling is U.C. Berkeley not Berkley; I’m sure the researchers would appreciate it.

Actually i think it’s kinda cool. Think about it all the local hunters would prettymuch turn into Predators. Stealth ships (like Klingon Birds of Prey) could one day be reality. And little pervs everywhere can sneek around the girls bathroom under their Cloak of Invisibality.
So yea Hide & Seek will be very fun and there will always be a way to get around the technology. That is IF we ever see it in non-military-killing-people way, which will probably be the only we will ever hear of it again.

yeah…i guess maybe cause you are an “explosives expert” you wouldnt think to just throw some flour on said item…or some paint or dirt or water…put a bomb by it to redirect the reflection…ok charlie bronson relax

i think explosives placed around it might be more prone to blow it up than anything else

This does sound interesting.
That’s really all I can say.
Wow.

I know this is all related to security. I am a security expert and i think this is a great concept except for one thing. It is technology and as always technology can be beat. An adversary will figure out a way to beat this technology.
I am also an explosives expert. I am guessing that a small charge planted somewhere around the cloaked item will cause the reflection to be redirected and reveal what is actually there.
Just food for thought.
Can you imagine that cloaked cameras might actually be watching you and you won’t even know it because they are cloaked. I can see things like that happening accross the US.
Invasion of privacy? guess that really depends on what you are doing.

Possibly, but probably not until at least 2050 and also at $1m per square inch.
