So apparently some guys over at Tufts have managed to make a new form of invisibility technology in the form of silk cloth. Throughout the ages people have often wanted to be able to become invisible for many reasons, most of which are Women locker room oriented, and apparently these guys have a tech that can eventually be used for just those purposes – I can hardly wait. Harry Potter made the idea even more modern day and now there are millions of kids and adults alike that want his cloak. The misnomer here is that this is an actual invisibility cloak, meaning the stuff behind you passes light through you. Thats not it.

The basic concept as I understand it is the light that would normally bounce off of you allowing others to see you doesn’t in a clear clean fashion. So say you were in the forest or laying on some rocks or what have you, you’d be much harder to see, and impossible to see clearly. Is this valuable? If you are a sniper this is crucial. The funny thing about that article is that they imply that its not really for military use. Here is the thing with that – if I can have almost invisible soldiers, I WILL.
