    Totally look right out of Predator. Nanotechnology can't come soon enough but also a little scary.

    Carbon nanoparticles can apparently do anything. They kill cancer, and they hide things. Just awesome!

    Works best underwater though. I imagine if you tried that on land, it will look like a sheet of water hanging in mid-air, which wouldn't be a very good invisibility cloak.

    Maybe they don't kill cancer but just hide it. ;)

    Yeah, but all the awesome stuff will never happen, the technology will simply be subverted to the needs of the fascist state.
