It's Berkeley. They're American.

Afaict, this is just an advanced form of camouflage. You start getting into real invisibility cloaks when you can start mass manufacturing nanomaterials tuned to the particular wavelengths of visible light--light would be able to travel along component surfaces in the material itself. And then there is the drawback for the user because he will have to look out of the suit and expose his eyes. Vision is created by light hitting the surface of one's retina, so one cannot possibly redirect all light or be completely invisible without blinding him/herself.

What about IR glasses? Should be able to detect the one being invisible, no?
