A professor from chair of quantum and optical electronics of the Ulyanovsk
State University in western Russia has patented a method of making things
invisible, Interfax news agency reported.

The so-called invisibility cloak, created by Oleg Gadomsky, is called ?The
method of conversion of optical radiation? in the patent.

Gadomsky had been long experimenting on nanoparticles of gold. Thus, he
invented a sub-micron stratum of microscopical colloid golden particles
that makes an object placed behind it invisible for an observer.

?Only static objects can be made invisible for the time present, as during
motion a radiation frequency changes. But soon it will be possible to
create a cap of darkness and a magic cloak of Harry Potter, the scientist
believes.
