New Research Could Mean Cellphones That Can See Through Walls
April 19th, 2012Via: University of Texas at Dallas:
Comic book hero superpowers may be one step closer to reality after the latest technological feats made by researchers at UT Dallas. They have designed an imager chip that could turn mobile phones into devices that can see through walls, wood, plastics, paper and other objects.
The team’s research linked two scientific advances. One involves tapping into an unused range in the electromagnetic spectrum. The other is a new microchip technology.

Oh yeah, can’t wait for this one to be deployed:
