Have you ever wished you had your very own invisibility cloak like Harry Potter? Well, now you can!
A textile company in British Columbia has come up with a “magical” material that camouflages the wearer, just like Harry Potter’s infamous cloak. Called “Quantum Stealth,” the material is lightweight, does not use any batteries, cameras or mirrors and cannot be spotted even with night vision goggles!
Are you wondering how this could ever be possible? Well, so are we! The company has kept their formula a secret, only revealing that they have managed to bend light waves so that they go around the material, rather than going through it.
Besides being a lot of fun to play with, this material could be extremely useful for protecting soldiers who have to go through enemy terrain, as well as camouflaging submarines and ships! The company is already working with U.S. and Canadian military officials to develop a “survival blanket” that would allow a soldier to become invisible within seconds!
Sadly, there is no word, yet, on when the material will be available to the general public.
