The threads disappear, not the thing covered by the threads.

I did not see this coming.

He’s making invisible clothes for Emperor Baraq I as we speak.

Turns out he can’t remember where he put them.

Mirage effect from thermally modulated transparent carbon nanotube sheets” published in IOP Science
The single-beam mirage effect, also known as photothermal deflection, is studied using a free-standing, highly aligned carbon nanotube aerogel sheet as the heat source. The extremely low thermal capacitance and high heat transfer ability of these transparent forest-drawn carbon nanotube sheets enables high frequency modulation of sheet emperature over an enormous temperature range, thereby providing a sharp, rapidly changing gradient of refractive index in the surrounding liquid or gas.(see more)

I made an invisibility cloak once. But, I put it down somewhere and couldn’t find it again.

Darn it! Where is that thing!

[USMCPOP]

‘invisibility cloak’? Who needs it? Just get old. People don’t see or pay attention to you. They don’t even hear you. Grow a bunch of white hair which should reflect light, but they run you over in the street anyway. “I never saw them in the headlights.”

This is just so cool....

A highway can become so hot that small circles that look like puddles of water appear in the road. That happens when the road is so hot that the surface bends the light around it, so that the driver sees the reflected sky instead of the pavement. The carbon nanotubes create a similar effect.

So, you simply target the "puddles" as they are hiding something.
