An Iranian post-doctoral student is on a research team, which has managed to invent a special coating, which makes objects invisible despite the presence of light.

The 33-year-old named Dr. Majid Gharghi created the 'invisibility carpet cloak' at the University of California, Berkeley in cooperation with his fellow researchers, ISNA reported on Saturday. 

The device enables concealment by changing the course of the light as it approaches the object's irregularities, causing it to refract from the object in the way it refracts from a flat surface. 

The head researcher Prof. Xiang Zhang says, “The carpet cloak means that you conceal the object under a layer, which we call carpet, but you see the carpet like a normal mirror, as if it is flat with no bump caused by putting the object underneath.” 

“This way, the observer won't recognize something is concealed underneath.”

Praise for Iranian student not the IR.

I salute all Iranian scientistsm, sportsmen and artists who are doing their best to practise their professions and vocations under the IR. The praising of Iranian scientists whether it is in the field of nuclear research or technology is not the same as praising the Terrorist Regime. Nortwithstanding that I will fully support sanctions and any disinvestment in the Terrorist Regime. This is not reflective of the many talented Iranians but the only route for the salvation of Iran. Indeed, the Terrorist regime and its evil Islamic ideology has long deprived funding and development in scienc and arts. The removal of the IR is priority and a noble cause. There will be unitended consequences and reprecussions but nevertheless this is a must.
