Scientists manipulating light. Breakthrough?

Communicating by light

Light carries information, so think of information being manipulated in ways that have never before been possible. That information can be stored - put on a shelf, so to speak - retrieved at will, and converted back to light. The retrieved light would contain the same information as the original light, without so much as a period being lost.

Or the information could be changed. "The light waves can be sculpted," is the way Hau puts it. "Then it can be passed on. We have already observed such re-sculpted light in our lab."

I read an article not too long ago about Professors and Scientists at 'Duke' (North Carolina, USA) University inventing an object that manipulated light much like the 'Predator's' space suit. It takes the energy from light and reflects it through a 'cloaking' system made up of microscopic mirrors. The end result, invisibility to the human eye, the object could not even be picked up by cameras...........Amazing, maybe, but if they have that kind of technology at Duke University, just imagine what they have at Groom Lake....ect........

light can flow like water threw steel.
