A Dutch team of scientists has made a huge step toward manufacturing a Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak.

Article Summary

A Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak is one more step closer to reality thanks to the work of a research team at the FOM Institute for Atomic and Molecular Physics (AMOLF) in the Netherlands, which has successfully harnessed the magnetic field of light to develop meta-materials that can deflect light in every possible direction.
