One’s ability to become invisible draws nearer; scientists may be a step closer to creating materials that redirect light around 3D objects (including humans) using metamaterials.
The materials are artificially engineered structures created at nano scale that contain optical properties not found in nature. Specifically, the materials are composed of various metals and circuit board materials, including ceramic and Teflon. They are used to bend visible light in a way ordinal materials are unable to, in order to eliminate shadows and reflections.
Our dream of becoming a real life Harry Potter draws nearer; all that is needed now is a wand and a flying broomstick.
