Your Next Phone May Be Able to See Through Walls
If you think it's difficult now avoiding embarrassing moments from being captured in a snapshot or video by someone with a mobile phone, you haven't seen anything yet.Researchers at the University of Texas at Dallas disclosed this week that they've developed an imager chip that could turn mobile phones into devices that can see through walls, wood, plastics, paper, and other objects.
The research team, led by Kenneth O, director of the Texas Analog Center of Excellence and a professor of electrical engineering, tapped an unused range in the electromagnetic spectrum and some microchip technology to brew their X-ray chip.
Portions of the electromagnetic spectrum are already used for consumer devices. For example, microwaves are used to cook food, broadcast radio uses AM and FM waves, and infrared waves are used for seeing in the dark. For their purposes, the researchers used waves in the terahertz range.
“We’ve created approaches that open a previously untapped portion of the electromagnetic spectrum for consumer use and life-saving medical applications," O said. “The terahertz range is full of unlimited potential that could benefit us all."
