Submission statement:
Scientists have developed an imaging chip that could equip future smartphones with “Superman-inspired” X-ray vision — albeit operating within a much more limited range than the caped Kryptonian superhero.
The experimental chip consists of an array of three sensor pixels that emit and receive high-frequency radio signals in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) band of the electromagnetic spectrum. Signals reflected back from the target object are then amplified and mixed by onboard components, enabling outlines of the object to be viewed on a display.
… so basically they’ve created a new and horrifying way to assault women in public.
Great.
Finally I’ll be able to tell if that really is a stud in my wall
$2000 stud finder coming soon.
Cheaper than repairing my Sheetrock 20x after my faulty finder readings 🤣
If we are hearing about it now that means it’s been around for a long time
What I would like is a sort of spectroscope to analyse materials. For instance, to tell what is inside food and drinks, for allergies or to see if they have turned bad.
Can detect an object up to 0.39 inches behind a sheet of cardboard. It may have some uses, but not what everyone is imagining.
