    Dude, this is so old. That picture has been on the internet for like forever.
    Although, it was Japan that developed it, not Washington.

    Well this was new... i think there was an older one, but this is talking about newly developed technologies, actual materials.

    But finding out pointless things is every scientist's job! (scientist 1 to scientist 2): "have you found a cure for cancer yet?" (scientist 2 to scientist 1): "no, i'm busy finding out how many wine gums it takes to choke a parakeet!"

    That's what thermal/infrared vision goggles are for. Don't forget about guns. Guns are nice too.

    ahh, but the thing is, you'll still be detectable to some things
    sonar is one of them, and that is pretty simple, although a little innacurate for imaging
    radar isnt one, cos its radio waves which are 3m long
    infra-red imaging probably would still work, so an invisible cloak of this isnt that much

    F-f-fantastic spam!

    Requesting lock. The thread is interesting and all, but said cloak is still a way off. Even the type of invis on Bond's Aston in Die Another Day is about 30 years ahead of real life. Also it's hardly a top priority at current.
