Scientists at the University of California sentence succeeded in creating such a cloak. They have invented a blanket that not only the object under the blanket is invisible, but the blanket itself is no longer visible. That report different media Friday.

It is an ultra thin blanket that is as thick as the human skin. The shell, which consists of gold microparticles, is placed around objects. These particles ensure that light is reflected. Therefore both the object and the blanket seem invisible. It works almost like a mirror.

It is too expensive to perform the test in the big. And there are also some practical disadvantages. The casing must be precisely tailored. And, there is, for example, or to see a shadow. In addition, the subject should not move. However, scientists think there further to the present invention will be developed in the future.

According to scientist Xiang Zhang, it is possible to apply this technology practical in ten years. The experiments are still mainly focused to tiny objects, but scientists are planning to apply it to larger objects.
