You may see some stories in the next few hours or days about the development of an "Invisibility Cloak" by scientists at Duke University, based on research at Imperial College, London. You'll probably have to read well past the headline to learn that this was already news back in the spring. But if you're a regular reader of Eye on Science, you know that already.
Just as a reminder: if you make yourself invisible, light rays pass right through, or completely around you. That means no light is absorbed by your retinas. That means you're completely blind. Now, who wants to sign up?
