In 18 short months you'll be Lupus Yonderboy-ing all over creation in your brand new invisibility cloak. Actually, we seriously doubt this will fall into our hands any time soon—they have to create a new material for it to work—but the concept is pretty strange.
A cloak made of those materials, with a structure designed down to the submicroscopic scale, would neither reflect light nor cast a shadow.Instead, like a river streaming around a smooth boulder, light and all other forms of electromagnetic radiation would strike the cloak and simply flow around it, continuing on as if it never bumped up against an obstacle. That would give an onlooker the apparent ability to peer right through the cloak, with everything tucked inside concealed from view.
The authors of the study that posits the cloak say that "[They] will have a cloak after not too long."

I don't get the Neuromancer connection...am I just dense?
There was already a project for an invisible coat as far as i remember, some japanese guys showed a lab coat that could proyect what was in the other side.
Thanks for bringing back the Neuromancer memories, John! Way too many hours sitting around the Amiga playing that. Good times.
"after not too long." Hahahaha, I find this hilarious for whatever reason.
Erzengel that was a fake. the guys took a high quality projector and had a coat make out of an ultra reflective material... i thought this invisibility shit was like 50 years away. eh, i'll believe this is real when its completed and i see it...
Lupus Yonderboy had "Mimetic Polycarbon" that made it difficult for others to see him, despite the pink hair. Or, uh, so I hear.
i cant wait to go into the girls locker room
