Want to become invisible?!

Science Starts Catching up with Harry Potter: Researchers Developing Invisibility Cloak


On the eve of part one of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, scientists are pitching in to help make the real world a bit more magical. Except of course, they’re using empirical data and facts and things like that.

Yes, Scottish researchers have made new progress developing a material that would make the wearer appear invisible; just like that invisibility cloak that seems to get more useful at Hogwarts with each passing year.

Ready to get technical?

The key to invisible clothing involves creating a material that can manipulate light waves on the surface. Apparently they were already able to create light-bending atoms on hard surfaces, but now researchers at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland have produced a more flexible material which they are calling Metaflex.

According to team leader Andrea di Falco, “It could signal a huge breakthrough, not only in the creation of ‘smart fabrics’ but in the manufacture of super contact lenses that can be “used for visual prostheses.”

So yes, fake eyes and invisibility. Thanks, science!

Next up: The military invests a billion dollars to develop Avada Kedavra spells...


...what? It's possible!!

I saw a bit on this cloak on some cable channel... it didn't work all that well, from what I could see.
