Scientists Create Real Invisibility Cloak

At the University of California Berkeley, researchers managed to create an ultra-thin invisibility skin that can
make a small object disappear.
The cloak is 80 nanometers thin, and is made from minute gold brick-like "nanoantennas" that effectively redirect light waves away from the object the cloak is covering. It can hide 3D objects, even though it is only 2D itself.
The study which resulted in this development was originally published by the research team titled: "An ultrathin invisibility skin cloak for visible light".
"As long as the metasurface is designed correctly ... both the container and the objects inside the container will become invisible," the study claims.
