The Invisible Man Made Real Cloaks that make objects invisible will be made within 18 months, say scientists. Changes to sub-wavelength structural details, rather than the chemical composition of these materials, will make objects disappear before our eyes, claims the team. |

Spoke Polarization Tightens Focus Conventional wisdom holds that you can't focus light much beyond half its wavelength, which has computer chipmakers scrambling to work out how to use extreme ultraviolet and x-rays to make smaller circuits. But scientists are coming up with tricks for getting around this not-so-fundamental limit. |
