UPDATE: Invisibility

Last week, I had discused the possibility of invisiblity for us humans, and just yesterday, we have come closer to that goal! Researchers have created a diamond-shaped cloaking device, which splits light into 2 waves around it, and forces them back together as one on the other side, making it seem like the light passed through a void space, rendering it invisible.

However, with all these cloaking devices, there is a catch. Currently, only microwaves are able to be bent around the material, while still making it visible to the human eye. They are working on modifying the material to bend the frequency of light that we are able to see, and once they perfect that, we can each fullfil our desires to be like Harry Potter!
