Duke’s Former Dungeon Masters Invent Invisibility Cloak

1/16/09 - Posted by Evan Kessler under Hot Topics

The science community is zeroing in on an achievement previously only thought attainable by the most dedicated of Dungeon Masters. No, the creators of Axe Body spray haven’t added Level 5 charm spells to the list of their product’s active ingredients, but scientists at Duke University have been tinkering with the creation of an invisibility cloak - and they may be on the right track.

Formerly a pipe dream for lonely adolescent minds, the new technology has been brought to the brink of existence thanks to the invention of “metamaterials” that work to deflect microwaves around a 3-D object. This complex system turns the object of desired invisibility into more or less a mirage, as heat works to bend light rays thereby cloaking both behind and in front of an image. While the brand new discovery will most likely be an tool rife for military exploitation, one scientist is creatively considering using it to check out his friend’s totally hot sister in the shower…you know, just so he can test it out.
