According to National Geographic(NG), two students teams are closer to developing cloaks that will allow for true invisibility.

It says teams from the University of California (Berkeley) and Cornell University have each found a different way to bend light around a very small object. And by bending the light they are able to deflect rays and stop the object from absorbing light thereby making it invisible to the human eye.

Although teams developed different way to hide objects, NG reports that the students say they are from developing material that effectively hides large objects.
