Harry Potter's "Cloak Of Invisibility" Closer To Reality

Now we need to get to work on the "flying broom" technology!

clipped from www.redorbit.com Cloak of Invisibility Close to Reality A real cloak of invisibility is no longer hidden to researchers at Duke University, who developed a material that can "cloak" an item from detection by microwaves. The system works like a mirage, where heat causes the bending of light rays and cloaks the road ahead behind an image of the sky. Beyond possible military applications, it also might have a very practical use by making mobile communications clearer. "Cloaking technology could be used to make obstacles that impede communications signals 'disappear,'" said David Smith of Duke University in North Carolina, who worked on the study published in the journal Science.
