X-ray specs, here we come! A London researcher is working with a lazer that could allow us to see through solid objects.

...[The] set-up, which he describes in the journal Nature Materials today, involves shining a laser at a specially designed solid. "The material goes from being opaque to being completely transparent. There is a little circular window that you can see through," Professor Phillips told the Guardian. "It has the potential to lead to all sorts of applications."

And the first application should be manufacturing a line of chastity belts out of this "specially designed solid."
