Invisibility Cloak to be reality

Wanted to get into the Principal's office and correct your answer sheet without anyone noticing? Didn't you have fantasy of being the Harry Potter for at least an hour with the invisibility cloaks (sorry, the pic is not of potter wearing invisibility cloak, but his birthday suit). For many it would have been a dream in their childhood days. But it is no longer to be so, but soon to be reality. The researches by The Imperial College, London and University of Southampton will lead to the creation of first invisibility cloaks.



These would be made from the so-called meta-metarials. These substances do not reflect light back to your eyes to see them. But deviate it in another direction, somewhat like a mirror.

Professor Sir John Pendry, a world-leading physicist at ICL, had first proposed the invisibility cloak in 2006.
"I anticipate this technology will do things we already do, but do them better and cheaper. For hundreds of thousands of years we have used chemistry to alter materials, and we have taken this as far as it can go," said Pendry.

But the 4.9 million pounds poured into this research is to make it useful in medicine, security and data communications.

A doubt remains "how would the models present the latest invisible cloak fashions over the ramp?"
