Ever since I first read about Harry Potter's priceless invisibility cloak, I have always wanted one for myself. It turns out that some of the world's leading minds have as well. These scientists have been locked up in those little labs of theirs and have finally discovered how to make a crystal invisibility cloak--even if it can only hide an ant.
European researchers from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany and Imperial College London made the invisibility cloak out of photonic crystals that resemble a piled wood structure.
