One of Superman’s powers could be one step closer to becoming a reality. And you won’t have to buy some silly glasses off the back page of a comic book to achieve it!
Researchers at MIT are working on the ability to see through solid walls.
The group at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory is working on a technique that would allow radar waves to that can see through walls from a good distance away and give an instantaneous picture of the activity on the other side.
The researchers’ device is an unassuming array of antenna arranged into two rows — eight receiving elements on top, 13 transmitting ones below — and some computing equipment, all mounted onto a movable cart. But it has powerful implications for military operations, especially “urban combat situations,” says Gregory Charvat, technical staff at Lincoln Lab and the leader of the project.
