科学家发明哈里•波特隐身斗篷

Hats off to scientists in New York, who have managed to produce a cheap ‘invisibility cloak’ effect using readily available materials and a lot of clever thinking. Through a combination of optical lenses, any object that passes behind a certain line of sight can be made to disappear from view.

让我们向纽约的科学家们脱帽致敬吧。他们用富于奇思妙想的头脑，通过日常的既有材料制造出了低成本的“隐身斗篷”效果。通过一个各种凸透镜组装起来的装置，在特定的视角下，任何物体都可以从观察者的眼前消失。

“People have been fascinated with cloaking for a very long time,” said John Howell, a Professor of Physics. “It’s recently been a really popular thing in science fiction and Harry Potter… I think people are really excited about the prospect of just being invisible.”

“长久以来，人们一直对隐身术非常着迷。”物理学教授约翰·霍威尔说,“近年来，在科幻小说和《哈里·波特》系列里经常出现隐身术……我想，人们会对未来能够隐形的设想感到非常兴奋。”

“From what we know this is the first cloaking device that provides three-dimensional, continuously multidirectional cloaking. I imagine this could be used to cloak a trailer on the back of a semi-truck so the driver can see directly behind him. It can be used for surgery, in the military, in interior design, art.”
