Harry Potter Tech! Invisibility Cloak!

This in from ExtremeTech.com. Scientists at Duke University have created the first real, functioning invisibility cloak. Now come the caveats: 1. It only works with microwave radiation 2. It only provides invisibilty from one direction.

Now that might not seen very functional to you, but what this really means is that eventually this research will yield the "real deal," a cloak that works for visible light and from all directions.

I don't think we'll get flying brooms any time soon, but then again, in this age of wonders, who knows?
