Making a dark human hair transparent, or even an opaque bar of silicon: this optical 'sorcery' is possible by manipulating the incident light. This new phenomenon is called 'mutual extinction and transparency'. Until now only existing in theory, photonics researchers demonstrated the effect with experiments.
