Dang, People Are Really Smart!
The Great Separation points us to an article in Nature about a near invisibility clock.
The Nature piece even compares it to the Romulans cloak, proof that these guys are geeks. But nonetheless, this is way cool. Unlike other stealth technologies that rely on computers, this is a quantum mechanical thing. [It requires a neutron wrench to tune :-)] It's s slog to explain how this works, the nature article is not, in my opinion accessible to the layman. If you are interested, leave a comment and I'll take a shot. But even if you don't know how it works, it's cool.
