Out of sight: The science of invisibilty. John Pendry

Part 1 | Part 2

Invisibility has always been the stuff of science fiction - until now. Physics researchers have in recent years made huge advances in perfecting a real invisibility cloak, capable of hiding people and objects from plain view.
Internationally renowned physicist Professor Sir John Pendry and his team rocked the science world with their prototype invisibility cloak, and in this talk he describes the metamaterials they are creating to bend light and make objects disappear.
In 2008, Professor Pendry's distinguished career as a scientist was celebrated at Pendryfest, a UK event which paid homage to the extraordinary depth and breadth of Prof Pendry's contribution to physics over the past 40 years.
