Prepare to have your mind blown:

Researchers from the University of Dallas in Texas have hijacked one of nature’s most intriguing phenomena — the mirage — to make an invisibility cloak. It can hide objects from view, works best underwater and even has a near-instant on/off switch.

Of course, all of this is in complete violation of the Treaty of Algeron. I hope they know what they’re doing.
