Researchers can now make a cat and a fish disappear from plain sight, so long as they’re looked at from the right angle. Last Friday, one of the first large-scale “invisibility cloaks” — devices that can hide objects from the human eye — was unveiled by a group of physicists from Zhejiang University in China, Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and Boston and UK institutions. The team built two different devices, a rectangular container and a hexagonal container, and each can hide items from viewers who are looking directly at any of their sides.
