One Step Closer to Invisibility Cloak Invention

How would you like to feel like Jessica Alba’s character in those “Fantastic Four” movies?

According to the researchers at the University of California in Berkeley, they are one step closer to developing an “Invisibility Cloak“. There’s already an existing material which can bend light around 3D objects – to make them ‘invisible’.

The developers of the technology are already excited that they are on the right track – so we just have to wait and see when we can actually get to be invisible.

Scientists say they are a step closer to developing materials that could render people and objects invisible. This feat is accomplished by using Metamaterials able to reroute light, forcing light around objects like water flowing around boulders in a stream. The waves of light come in and are swept around the cloak and reconstructed on the other side while avoiding the interior region, so it looks as if they just passed through free space. Watch out guys, someone maybe standing just next to you, invisible!
