This effect, which follows from the inhibition of the electric dipole radiation, can be identified as a Fano resonance in the scattering efficiency and is associated with the excitation of an anapole mode in the particle. This anapole mode is non-radiative and emerges from the destructive interference of electric and toroidal dipoles. The invisibility effect could be useful for the design of highly transparent optical materials.B.L., R.P.-D. and A.I.K. acknowledge support by DSI core funds and an A*STAR Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) Pharos grant no. 1527000025.
