These are graphical representations of numerical simulations depicting four potential applications of a new field called transformation optics. Clockwise from top left are: a design for optical cloaking; a light "concentrator" for sensors and solar collectors; a "planar hyperlens" and "impedence-matched hyperlens" for applications including microscopes.

A new research field called transformation optics may usher in a host of radical advances including a cloak of invisibility and ultra-powerful microscopes and computers by harnessing nanotechnology and "metamaterials."

Crazy, I wonder IF the cloaking device could actually work!

Here's a pic that was in popular science a couple months ago showing someone wearing something similar.
Here's a link to the full gallery. Pics 5 & 6 are of this same person.
