A recent development by scientists is the ability to negatively refract visible light (within the blue-green region). What does this mean to us? Well, many new developments and applications will arise within the next few years including things like cloaking, being able to actually see DNA, and working much more accurately in the nanoscale.
This breakthrough literally bends light backwards. One really cool application is that of an Invisibility Cloak that requires no electronics just the material. Another good article can be found here and gives credit to its developers.
One thing I would like to note is that if a cloak is developed I will buy it for sure.

An invisibility cloak would be pretty cool. The ability to actually see DNA sounds like it could be a great breakthrough for scientists. I like that you posted two different articles on the topic. Both articles gave a different perspective on this new development.
