It’s not quite a Harry Potter-caliber invisibility cloak, but scientists have developed a cloaking device that will hide an object in motion. Hey everyone. Amy here for DNews. In the real world, invisibility comes down to a trick of light. We see objects because light reflects off them and hits our eyes. Cloaking an object involves bending the light that hits our eyes around an object so we can see what’s behind that object but not the object itself. The problem with cloaking devices for a long time has been that the object being hidden and the person looking at the hidden object need to be stationary; move at all and you’ll see the object and the cloaking device, destroying the illusion. But researchers from the University of Rochester in New York h...
