Invisibility is one of the most startling technological wonders we will see in the future. The idea of a Harry Potter-style cloak of invisibility may be mind-bendingly hard to believe, but scientists say they are already well on the way to creating one.

Universities across the globe working in the rapidly expanding field of nanotechnology have demonstrated working prototypes, using new materials that can bend light around an object to make it, in effect, invisible.

It will come as no surprise that much of this research is being financed by the US military.

Four months ago, boffins at the University of Singapore came up with something weirder and potentially even more frightening – a darkness beam that bathes objects in an absence of light, enabling invisibility to be projected from a distance.
