Invisibility cloaks could take sting out of tsunamis (newscientist.com)

I'm confused as to why you need to protect oil rigs from tsunamis. I thought that tsunamis were only dangerous when they reached the shore. In open water all you get is a slight swell.


Great point, perhaps the article meant oil refineries, those tend to be on the coastline?


Wait: invisibility cloaks are real? Where have I been?
