Voldemorts of the World, Beware

Scientists have created the first invisibility cloak.

Voice of America has more. I can’t wait to see what the folks at Danger Room will have to say.

  1. I would like to see a picture of the invisible object.

    The BBC runs one of these every year, it seems. Always turns out to be impractical (video projector combined with a camera), largely speculative, and/or years away from reality.

    I was totally ready to hop on the train to Karlsruhe to check this out, but then I got to the part in the article that mentioned precisely what got hidden by the cloak: a bump a micrometer high.

    I think I’ll wait for the next product refresh…

    They could at least have waited till April before publishing that piece of nonsense.

    Micrometer-tall Voldemorts of the world, beware!
