1. Why!
Ray ,   Germany   (07.13.10)
Why publish this! it not smart to do laundry in public. How will Israel ever keep an edge against it foes if critical information and technology is told and sold world over.
2. And Bar Ilan has a new center for nano research
Raymond in DC ,   Washington, DC USA   (07.13.10)
Me, I would prefer that the enemy be surprised by our technology, left to wonder "What just happened?" This latest development demonstrates that Israel is operating at the top tier of nanotechy, but they're about to pull further ahead. One of the largest centers for nano research was just inaugurated at Bar Ilan University.
3. Nothing new
Russian Teacher   (07.13.10)
This only impress naive israelis.
4. We,in Russia....
Russian teacher.   (07.13.10)
Have the tecnology to stop and make useless any electronic equipment,in warplane fighters,tanks,artilley systems.....pressing a couple of bottoms. We in Russia will use Plasma tecnology for warplanes and ICBMs. We in russia,have a lot of secret weapons and tecnologys capable to wonder any army on the world. I wonder,why our gubernment don´t use this power to lead the world,now.
5. We, in Russia… to Nr.3-4
Russian student ,   Russia   (07.13.10)
Have the most clever teachers in the world! Unfortunately, they are smoking to much bambus leaves and then posting all our secrets in the web. I wounder why we in Russia are so naive…
6. You in Russia #3-4
Thomas ,   Dixieland - USA   (07.13.10)
Anything that is worthwhile and sought after by the world is manufactured by soviet fish and Mother Earth but not your people: Caviar and Oil/gas. Care to list what else do you offer? - except for banging on the table with your shoes?
7. New Technology
Rick S. ,   USA   (07.13.10)
What is the point of announcing to the world information that should be kept secret? War are won by surprising the enemy, not announcing what you do and how you do it. Only the USA and Israel feel it's important to broadcast sensitive info to it's enemies.
8. Why not cover Israel with the nanopaint?
Avi ,   NYC, USA   (07.13.10)
Why not cover all of Israel, and Israelis, with this magical paint? That way the world will not notice our murderous actions, corrupt politicians, persecution of the Palestinians, etc. The world will also fail to notice Israeli tourists stealing from hotels abroad or selling ecstasy pills. This magic paint will eliminate the need for propaganda to cover for Israeli actions. And while we are at it, can Israel also develop another magic paint that will hide its smell?
9. Russian Teacher
Thor ,   Asgard   (07.13.10)
Yeah, and Russia was going to win the cold war... Russia is a thriving country with the most highest of living standards (*sarcasim*).
10. Israeli claimed to invent a method to hide the tanks
sami ,   Lebanon   (07.13.10)
from infrared detectors as well , I hope one smart will invent something that make all Zionist ( not Jews , some Jews are good ) disappear from the Globe in quite and noiseless manner .He will be the true Nobel price for peace no doubt not this empty suite ,joke Obama.
11. #4 you are in Russia ,bla, bla ,bla don't own your ass.
sami ,   Lebanon   (07.13.10)
After your political mess and zig zag stand off with Iranian case at UN and arm and nuclear reactor Boushaher deals ,you lost your credibility and trust ,like a whore that wants and do not want in the same time.
12. Cannot stopping laugh
CrockMax ,   MegaloCity   (07.13.10)
To the Russian: if that had been like you say it, Putin&Co would have provide this super material to permit Nasrallah doing his footing near the WTC from time to time... A French Searcher...
13. Re: "Russian teacher"
Glenn ,   Brooklyn USA   (07.13.10)
Oh really? How many bottoms have to be pressed? I think that you in Russia ought to employ a proper spellcheck program first, if you want to boast your accomplishments (and sexual harassment) in the Free West press.... Just my 2 Rubles.
14. The Mother of all Inventions
Sagi   (07.13.10)
would be a device that made all tanks, planes, missiles etc. disappear, FOREVER.
15. Very stupid thing
PO ,   Ramat Gan, IL   (07.13.10)
... to be published in this moment. Sometime scoops are harmful.
16. To Sami, Lebanon
Adam ,   London   (07.13.10)
How would you feel if I write - make all muslims disappear! I do believe that muslims are at odds with different countries and cultures all over the world with their misplaced sense of religious superiority. It is not the Zionists/Jews that are at odds and causing trouble in the world you need to look closer to home probably at yourself or your nieghbour. You actually believe your corrupt governments propaganda!
17. "We in Russia... "
Mat ,   TA   (07.13.10)
The Russians may have some good technology but the country is dysfunctional. Every on has the A bomb thats old news already.... Russia cannot rule because no one wants them to and ALL would oppose it (At least in the West). We all saw what kind of leaders mother Russia produces.
18. US Universities have been developing this for years
Bloodyscot ,   Dallas, Texas   (07.13.10)
and have many students from other countries, including Israel, Russia, India and ME countries. US companies refuse to spend much on R&D now days so while US Universities are ahead, its companies are falling behind. The weaken to this tech maybe that paint must be tuned to frequency range, so it may work well on one radar type but not as well with another with different frequencies.
19. Don´t attack me
Russian Teacher   (07.13.10)
I only say you the truth.We in RUssian have the most valuable phisics and mathematicians. Do you really think Russia will have this size if not but its impressive military secret power? do you know nothing about real russian military power...... remember,we were the first men in the space,and wea re above you in a lot of fields.
20. The Tower of Babel and Harry Potter!
R Horman ,   B'more, USA   (07.13.10)
At the tower of Babel, G_d declares that whatever man imagines he can accomplish. Thus, G_d scrambles man's languages. "Harry Potter's invisibility cloak" has been converted from an idea into a reality. Soldiers invisible to night vision goggles. WOW. Is this good? Yes, in the first round of war. No, in the second round of war, when your enemy has this device. Radar "networks" (multiple radars) will thus become mandatory to "paint" flying objects with signals and resolve the image with computers.
21. RE "Don´t attack me"
mat ,   TA   (07.13.10)
I'm not attacking you.... I am just stating that maybe russia needs to first sort out its political socio economic issues before it worries so much about military power. Israel, US , Britain all have good economies with a good standard of life... Russian majority has no such thing, so who cares about military power when your own people have nothing to eat and and are abused by the goverment? There are great minds in russia no doubt, they just need to be working on whats relevant for them.. Russia cannot be a power to be reaconed with through military might alone. That only on part of the equation, but they are dismal at the other part and most always have been...look where they are.
22. #10 When all Maronites leave Lebanon and they are leaving in
Sam ,   USA   (07.13.10)
droves you will turn into another Somalia and be renaimed Hezbollastan. Your tiny land squeezed by Syria will turn into another dictatorial terrorist state that will produce nothing of value. You don't have a future. Face reality now!
23. Hmm...?
Naor ,   USA   (07.13.10)
Doesn't seem like suck a "secret" new weapon anymore, does it? I swear the media will be the downfall of the free world.
24. (don't worry)
sam ,   colorado   (07.13.10)
There for each new development on the other hand there is a new development for it,in return there company nanorockets(don't worry)
25. #19
Thor ,   Asgard   (07.13.10)
Then how come Russia does not rule the world?
26. would it work on my car too ? (speed tickets etc)
eporue ,   europe   (07.13.10)
27. #8 Avi, other possible uses for the invisible paint
Sheikh Yahudi ,   Damascus, Israel   (07.13.10)
The paint could be used to cover all the shameless lies and blood libels told about Israel and the Jewish people. It could also be used to cover up the double standard of the so called international community that completely ignores the tens of thousands that are being murdered in jihadist terrorist attacks around the world, yet chastizes Israel when it lifts a finger to defend itself against them. The paint could also be used to cover up honor killings, female genital mutilation and other horrific crimes that make anything Israel is falsely accused of look like a little kid's picnic. Alas, the enemies of the Jewish people and their faithful allies don't have Israeli ingenuity working for them.
28. Can They Paint Holyland Now?
Seth ,   Washington, DC   (07.13.10)
29. more destructive and the less of a price
sam ,   colorado   (07.13.10)
It's a very good thing this is remarkable scientific progress but it became so old so Israel has declared him,Israel is not stupid to this extent in order to reveal the secret of this discovery,Israel knows very well that failure to detect the radar for aircraft does not have any value with Syria and Lebanon,because Syria and Lebanon they have rockets that reach all the cities of Israel and does not need any development, so there is an equation Israel has the most powerful and most expensive arsenal but has a small land and limited, in return a wide land of and different terrain mountains and valleys, and the price thousand times a very cheaper less than to purchase of one Military aircraft and the distance is too short so will be more destructive and the less of a price
30. We also have the technology to make Russian planes disappear
Gee ,   Zikron Yaakov   (07.13.10)
The IAF is the largest distributor of MiG parts in the world. For the past 40 years nobody has made more Russian aircraft disappear than us.
