Scientists create cloak of invisibility
RANDOLPH E. SCHMID
Associated Press
WASHINGTON - Scientists are boldly going where only fiction has gone before - to develop aCloak of Invisibility. It isn't quite ready to hide a Romulan spaceship from Capt. James T. Kirk or to disguise Harry Potter, but it is a significant start and could show the way to more sophisticated designs.
In this first successful experiment, researchers from the United States and England were able to cloak a copper cylinder.
It's like a mirage, where heat causes the bending of light rays and cloaks the road ahead behind an image of the sky.
