Terahertz Scanner Lets Smartphones See Through Objects
UT Dallas electrical engineers have designed an imaging chip that
could let mobile phones peer through walls, wood, plastics, paper and
other objects.
Researchers led by Kenneth O, director of the Texas Analog Center of Excellence and an electrical engineering professor, are using new microchip technology to see into the terahertz band of the electromagnetic spectrum, wavelengths that fall between microwave and infrared.
A university announcement says the technology could be used to find studs in walls, to authenticate important documents and money, and for medical imaging and environmental monitoring.
