More technology filtering through to the public domain. If we are getting to hear about it now it's because they have had it for years.

Makes you wonder what they really have got behind closed doors. Moore's Law and all that.

Oh I am sure they have had this for awhile. We hear about five years after its been developed and tested to be functional. So give or take they have had this for some time now. Never know what they are going to come up with and what research they are using. Glad we have the funding for things like this..

The caduceus (☤; /kəˈdjuːsiːəs/ or /kəˈdjuːʃəs/; from Greek κηρύκειον kērukeion "herald's staff"[2] ) is the staff carried by Hermes in Greek mythology. The same staff was also borne by heralds in general, for example by Iris, the messenger of Hera. It is a short staff entwined by two serpents, sometimes surmounted by wings. In Roman iconography it was often depicted being carried in the left hand of Mercury, the messenger of the gods, guide of the dead and protector of merchants, shepherds, gamblers, liars, and thieves

Of the uses we could think of for this tech, one of the first mentioned in the article is to hide tanks. smh.

Despite leaps and bounds in new tech, humanity still has a long way to go until it's out of diapers.

Reminds me of two black cuboids I saw flying at altitude some years back

In retrospect they could have been exotic military aircraft with this nanotube coating

Carbon Nanotubes have been around forever.

Even a simple search netted results from 2007.
