We are closing in on the elusive cone of silence. Cue the science!
Scientists have shown off the blueprint for an "acoustic cloak", which could make objects impervious to sound waves.
The technology, outlined in the New Journal of Physics, could be used to build sound-proof homes, advanced concert halls or stealth warships.
Is it too much to ask for a conversion of this technology into gun form? There are quite a few people I'm exposed to that I'd love to zap with some silent justice... or just silence... or both.
