Cloaking Device
Two teams have claimed that they have just invented a cloaking device. Unlike previous cloaking devices which used tiny cameras and projectors to make objects look invisible, this new device actually bends light around itself using mirrors and nano pillars. This concept of bending light has been used in the past to bend microwaves, but bending the waves that are seen with the human eye is a new achievement. Both teams' designs are almost exactly identical and it apparently took them both almost exactly the time to build it.
