Concept of invisibility cloak is not new to many of us, we have witnessed this in Harry Potter and James bond movies as well.
However, in a breakthrough report, it is revealed that the researchers from the University of Rochester, New York have succeeded in creating an invisibility cloak (or sheet). By using this cloak, we can make and object invisible to the human eye.
Not only this, there were reports that British and US military troops have been testing a Harry Potter-style ‘invisibility cloak’ that makes them disappear on the battlefield. During field trials in the US, it is reported that the soldiers used a high-tech camouflage sheeting called Vatec that even hid them from infra-red and heat-seeking devices.
Right now, the technology has its limitations, but who can say, in near future, we might see (or not see) the fully functional invisibility cloak in action ?
