At Duke University a team of scientists called DURHAM NC. Set out to bend microwaves. They successfully made an object invisible to microwaves. The key material was Metamaterials, “artificial composites that can be made to interact with electromagnetic waves in ways that natural materials cannot reproduce” (Morgan1). They precisely placed concentric circles around a cylinder and shot microwave radiation at it. The cloak bent the microwaves as if the object wasn’t there. We have now proven that light can be bent. Invisibility is now possible.

Invisibility: Impossible to see; not visible. Many people would love to have the ability to perform invisibility. Duke University has successfully taken the first step to accomplishing true invisibility. All the text books in the world on Optics are wrong. Invisibility was thought to be downright impossible, but that has not stopped physicists from exploring the impossible. Pratt school of Engineering has broken the impossible barrier, and full invisibility in the coming years shall be possible. In the coming decades we will be able to have commercial invisibility cloaks so to speak. Everyday a scientist gets closer and closer to creating impossible things, and making them possible.
