Cloaking study yields antimagnet

Researchers have designed a "cloak" that is invisible to magnetic fields both coming in and coming out.

The idea of blocking magnetic fields has been proposed before, but the new design, in the New Journal of Physics, could even hide magnetic materials.

It could thus find application in security or medical contexts, such as those surrounding MRI scans.

The approach uses superconductor layers and the "metamaterials" familiar from recent invisibility cloak research.

2. Nah. They'd just lose it, anyhow.

You'd find the technology tossed alongside the road, next to a pile of Faygo bottles, discarded bras, and some dirty underwear.
