Cloak

Saw the basis for the next generation invisibility cloaks today. Not only are they invisible from the outside, light from the inside won't be able to get out. And they're laser proof. Laser proof.

Harry Potter may start looking old school soon.

This is actual science.

The current model invisibility cloak isn't very good. They're hoping to get lucky the next time through.
