New invisibility cloak hides tiny three-dimensional objects of any shape
Scientists at UC Berkeley have developed a foldable, incredibly thin invisibility cloak that can wrap around microscopic objects of any shape and make them undetectable in the visible spectrum. In its current form, the technology could be useful in optical computing or in shrouding secret microelectronic components from prying eyes, but according to the researchers involved, it could also be scaled up in size with relative ease.

Pentagon intrigued by breakthrough in cloaking technology
An academic says he and his colleagues have demonstrated a major breakthrough in the quest for invisibility, and he has the military’s attention. Boubacar Kante, a professor at the University of California-San Diego, and his colleagues tested the..."dielectric metasurface cloak." That's a fancy way of describing a super-thin, non-metal material that manipulates electromagnetic waves, including visible light and radio waves.

How one US state went from two quakes a year to 585
The central US state of Oklahoma has gone from registering two earthquakes a year to nearly two a day and scientists point to a controversial culprit: wastewater injection wells used in fracking. Located in the middle of the country, far from any major fault lines, Oklahoma experienced 585 earthquakes of a magnitude of 3.0 or greater in 2014.
