It may sound like something out of a cheesy science fiction film, or at least a Harry Potter book, but scientists say that creating an invisibility cloak could be a reality. National Geographic is reporting that researchers have developed two new types of meta-materials that are able to “bend” light in a way that effectively renders objects behind them invisible. Both of the new composite materials are designed to manipulate the properties of light in a way that could not occur in the natural world.
