Clickbait as hell, but someone please correct me:
Researchers shone the laser light through a cloaking device that changed the light’s frequency so it would pass through the target object, rather than interacting with it to make it visible. Another filter behind the object returned the light to its original frequency.
Basically they just shifted the wavelength enough so that the material wouldn't interact with it then shift it back to the original frequency.
Think: soda glass is transparent to visible light so it doesn't interact with it. But it's opaque to IR/UV, so with this device they'd just shift IR/UV into the visible band so it isn't interacted with then shift it back into the respective IR/UV bands.

So when can I hide in the girl's locker room though?

I can finally steal stealth camo prototypes from nerds and ambush people in elevators!
I like how the video on the article has almost nothing to do with the article.
I'll believe it when I see it
See what?
If it were to be applied as a 3D cloak, wouldn't we see some kind of distortion at the edges?
