Invisibility Cloak, Just Like Harry Potter

UK scientists have invented a material that may allow the invention of an invisibility Cloak, just like the one used by Harry Potter. The material contains tiny structures that combined together to form a “metamaterial” which can manipulate light to render objects invisible.

Metamaterials work by channeling the flow of light at a fundamental level, controlling light waves in a precise fashion to achieve a particular effect. Similar materials have been developed before, however, they only worked for light in a part of the spectrum which the human eye cannot see.

Rocketman Yves Rossy Performs Two Aerial Loops

Swiss adventurer, Yves Rossy, made a successful return to the skies yesterday with another daredevil exploit; flying two aerial loops in the latest version of his winged jet-powered rocket pack.


Rossy performed the stunt above Lake Geneva in Switzerland during an 18-minute flight before making his trademark parachute landing.

The new jet-pack is more aerodynamic than previous versions. It has a two-meter (6.6-foot) wingspan instead of the 2.5-meter (8.2-foot) model and no unfoldable parts which provides greater stability during flight.
