Cloaking devices are very real!!!

Science fiction was once the only place cloaking devices existed, on a Klingon ship in Star Trek or as a literal cloak in Harry Potter. Now science has managed to make them a reality.
While we can't yet don an item of clothing that will make us entirely invisible, there are more options. Scientists have come up with all sorts of complicated cloaking devices, presumably with plenty of military funding. Some are more simple and can even be made at home for cheap.
We've rounded up the best cloaking discoveries science has on offer.

Lens cloaking

Scientists at the University of Rochester have come up with a lens array system that's able to make anything in its path invisible to the human eye.
The cloaking system uses lenses which bend light rather than allowing it to travel in a straight line. This means that anything placeed in between the lenses can no longer be seen. And the best part is you can make it yourself for about £60.
A real world example given for its use was a truck driver who could cloak his rear storage unit so he could see directly behind him. Unlike cloaking devices in films, where a character or vehicle becomes invisible, this system relies on lenses so it's more for use seeing "around" objects

Inside project Ara: Google plans to disrupt the smartphone market, releasing a "lego-like" phone

Ara and Google plans to disrupt the smartphone market by unleashing a "lego-like" phone that lets you swap in interchangeable parts to get new abilities.   The Phone You Can Truly Customize  In the three years since work first started on Ara, the modular phone has always seemed like a pipe dream, and Google has always treated it that way. It's been part of the company's ATAP division -- Advanced Technologies and Products -- a skunkworks explicitly tasked with turning such fantasies, like sensors you can swallow, into consumer reality. Advantages of Ara  When the Project Ara Developer Edition ships this fall, it will come with four modules to start: a speaker, a camera, an E-Ink display (like the one you'd find on an Amazon Kindle e-reader) and an expanded memory module. Those might not sound all that exciting, but they're all things that even high-end smartphones don't necessarily do well. And with Ara, you're not limite...

The new delivery system: Drones!?!

Image
These are the few questions usually asked by people;   Is this science fiction or is this real? It may look like science fiction today but soon, you will be seeing this delivery drones in the air. Many of you will think of it as fake but I assure you it's completely real and will be effective soon enough. How does it work? This technology is a future service that will deliver packages up to five pounds in 30 minutes or less using small drones. Flying under 400 feet and weighing less than 55 pounds, the drones makes use of various sensors to "sense and avoid" obstacle, as well as a high degree of automation, to safely operate beyond the line of sight to distances of 10 miles or more.   How are you going to ensure safety? Being already tested and tried by the companies that offer the use of this drones like; Amazon, Walmart,...  it would seem that the technology is "quite" safe and on still on further research google X says. But like I said e...
