    Yeah metamaterials have been around for a while, though the invisibility idea is relatively new. I havent read the paper but I think the microwave invisibility is a good idea simply beacuse its much easier to fool radar than the human eye. Removing aberations from these materials is not easy and making something totaly invisble would require a near perfect job.
