Several related articles have been posted regarding this cloaking device but this comes from the source of the research. It also has a video demonstration of what they did which I didn't see on any of the other threads. So, here ya go...

The device can only be destroyed in the fires of Mt. Doom.

Yup.... the Pentagon and military would be very interested in this devise.
One can see many military applications with this.

It could be incredibly useful in space exploration too. If I understand this correctly, it could be used to shield spacecraft, space stations and lunar colonies from radiation. It could also be used to shield ships, airplanes, missiles and sattelites from directed energy weapons. At least theoretically.

Big deal. We had the Cone of Silence available years ago.

Soon as they can make one that wraps around an F-350, I'm in.

Is that a Dungeons and Dragons reference?

Uh, I'm thinking DARPA is probably a leading contributor to the research; wouldn't you?

One can see many military applications with this.The first should be Donald Rumsfeld's press briefings. He boggles their minds as it is. Just imagine how the Q & A would go if he were invisible.

Nope ;-)

Interesting...with future advances in nanotechnology, we may be able to design a similar cloaking material for optical wavelengths.
I can see quite a few military uses for the microwave cloak, like radar invisibility for ships and planes.
