          The Physics Hidden by the Invisibility Cloak

          "John Pendry is a physicist at Imperial College London who laid the theoretical foundations for the invisibility cloak and superlenses capable of producing the sharpest ever images.

          He talks about the profound physics obscured by his invisibility cloak and how metamaterials could help realize the perfect lens.

          Valerie Jamieson: Invisibility cloaks can guide light around objects as if they weren't there.

          It is awe-inspiring physics.

          The first invisibility cloak was created in by British scientist John Pendry.

          So why the frustration?
          John Pendry: It's when I give talks, particularly popular ones. Of all the things I am interested in, I am always asked about invisibility cloaks. I think, "Oh God, not another invisibility cloak lecture." I still enjoy giving them, but there are many other things I'm working on that are more profound; they just don't have that fertile soil which J.
