I don't currently have mod points. I couldn't've just moded you down for "stupid", or "clueless". Both options aren't available, and "overrated" is not satisfying enough. So I figured I'd just post to point out what the above posts were trying to say is that.. (oh screw it you can't be helped)

Quantum Cloaking Makes Molecules Invisible 118

Posted by kdawson on Sunday November 16, 2008 @06:31PM from the can-you-see-me-now dept.

KentuckyFC writes "An international team of physicists has applied the ideas of cloaking to the quantum world and worked out how to hide quantum objects such as molecules. In the quantum world, seeing is equivalent to detecting a quantum object. In the case of molecules, that means looking for the terahertz radiation they produce when they vibrate (abstract). By designing a 'quantum corral,' an elliptical nanostructures that absorbs terahertz waves at a precise frequency, the team says it is possible to hide molecules that emit at exactly that frequency. They say their quantum corral would be ideally suited to detecting molecules of specific species while ignoring others. And that may mean a new generation of molecular detectors on the horizon."
