Here is a bit more on the compounds and tech they used to make this new cloak:
The cloak, which at present is only capable of making microscopic objects invisible, is composed of an extremely thin layer of gold nanoantennae that form a tiled coat only 80 nanometres thick. At its current dimensions, it can be draped over very small objects the size of a few biological cells (1,300 square microns in area), and when done so, manages to mask their 3D shape by reflecting light waves.
Below are two videos showing things disappear. The first video is a previous version where researchers demonstrated a person sized jacket which was pretty awesome. The second video shows the latest technology in action making an item completely disappear.

thanks to Berkeley Lab for the great pic
Used to be when I was a young boy I thought to myself wouldn’t it be great to be invisible and go into the ladies restroom. But now you don’t need it that you have to do to be a pervert and little mentally off and I’ll let you go in the women’s restroom anyhow
