It might be dismissed as science fiction but invisibility is a technology that is slowly becoming a reality.
For the past few years scientists have been making increasingly large strides in developing technology that can render an object invisible by steering light around it. But how far has it really come and will we ever see a Harry Potter style invisibility cloak ?
The "invisibility cloaks" being made in labs today can hide objects when viewed from a wide range of directions and in visible light – both considered implausible developments when the first working invisibility cloak was demonstrated just four years ago.
