Scientists getting close to invisibility



If you've ever dreamed about how cool it is to be snooping around in Harry's cloak, science has made it possible.

Scientists at Hogwarts University of California, Berkeley has found a way to to deflect lights around three dimensional objects through the use of "metamaterials"; a series of teflon and fiber.
