The “earthquake cloak” idea comes from researchers in the UK, Italy and France, some of whom were the first to show that the physics of invisibility cloaks could have other applications – designing a cloak that could render objects “invisible” to destructive storm waves or tsunamis.” In Search of an Earthquake-Proof Building http://www.cnn.com/2010/TECH/03/02/earthquake.resistant.bu
