State aid: Commission authorises €82 million of innovative film tax incentives; opens investigation into Italian digital cinema support. The European Commission has approved under EC Treaty state aid rules Italy’s innovative €82 million package of film tax incentives until 31 December 2010. The incentives aim to stimulate investment from outside the film production sector into European cultural films and to support the distribution of such films. The Commission found that the incentives are compatible with the cultural derogation of the EC Treaty. The Commission has also opened a formal investigation into a proposed 30% tax credit for installing digital projection equipment in Italian cinemas because it has concerns that the measure may mainly benefit large multiplexes which should need less support. http://europa.eu/rapid/pressReleasesAction.do?reference=IP/09/1181&format=HTML&aged=0&language=EN&guiLanguage=fr

New device makes invisibility a reality.One of the first things that come to mind when thinking about Harry Potter and his cloak is … invisibility. Researchers in Spain have developed a device that makes objects invisible under a certain kind of light. Called ‘dc metamaterial’, the device brings the inside of the magnetic field down to zero but does not change the exterior field. The results of the study are published in the journal Applied Physics Letters. http://cordis.europa.eu/search/index.cfm?fuseaction=news.document&N_RCN=31072
