Metamaterials breakthrough could lead to the first wide-spectrum optical invisibility cloak

Metamaterials breakthrough could lead to the first wide-spectrum optical invisibility cloak: "o make a Harry Potter-style invisibility cloak requires the use of materials that have what's known as a negative refractive index over all optical wavelengths, from red to violet. However, the artificially-structured optical materials from which cloaks are made thus far have been restricted to a very narrow range of optical wavelengths, limiting their ability to cloak over a range of colors"
