Harry Potter: scientists close to creating the Invisibility Cloak – Pplware

Who is a fan, read the books or seen the Harry Potter saga movies, surely you remember the famous Invisibility Cloak. This fabulous robe, made invisible whatever was underneath.

Now, scientists have managed to perfect the technology and are closer to create something similar that works in reality.

This theme It had been spoken here in Pplware in 2009 and 2014 and now appeared more progress so that, in a few time, it is possible to have it in real life an Invisibility Cloak. This cloak, which would certainly very way, makes invisible all that is beneath him.

This tool, which became famous especially in the Harry Potter saga, was studied by researchers from the School of Electronic Engineering and Computer Science, Queen Mary University in London. Scientists have demonstrated a device which allows the curved surfaces lay flat for electromagnetic waves.

Basically it is an optical processing as explained Professor Yang Hao, that university.

that is, the researchers coated a curved surface with a made of seven different layers of the device, wherein the electrical property of each of these layers , depended on his position.

Now, a normal object with curves, the electromagnetic waves scattered around on the curves, making the existence of that object was obvious and visible. However, with this device, it does not. Instead of seeing the curves, they appear flat, disguising their existence, making it more difficult to detect this object.

According to the same university professor:

previous research showed that this technique worked a frequency. However, we show that also works on a higher frequency, making it more useful, so you can apply it to other areas of engineering and nano-antennas or in the aerospace industry.

You can know all the details of this research in the scientific paper released last Friday, in scientific Reports. See here
