Researchers have “cloaked” a three-dimensional object, making it invisible from all angles, for the first time.

(…)

Most of the high-profile invisibility cloaking efforts have focused on the engineering of “metamaterials” - modifying materials to have properties that cannot be found in nature.

The modifications allow metamaterials to guide and channel light in unusual ways - specifically, to make the light rays arrive as if they had not passed over or been reflected by a cloaked object.

….What?…

Scientists demand we stop washing our clothes, man. Bunch of dirty hippies:

Microscopic plastic debris from washing clothes is accumulating in the marine environment and could be entering the food chain, a study has warned.

Researchers traced the “microplastic” back to synthetic clothes, which released up to 1,900 tiny fibres per garment every time they were washed.

Soon a we will be able to control robotic brains… with our minds. Stellar.
