From BBC site:
Scientists in the US say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people invisible.
Researchers at the University of California in Berkeley have developed a material that can bend light around 3D objects making them "disappear".
The materials do not occur naturally but have been created on a nano scale, measured in billionths of a metre.
The team says the principles could one day be scaled up to make invisibility cloaks large enough to hide people.

How cool is that, imagine being able to turn yourself invisible!
Mind you, sometimes when I'm stood at a bar waiting to be served I think I'm already wearing an invisibility cloak.
