Researchers at an American university they conceived a new technology that will allow people to use mobile phones in a way similar to the one in which X-ray machines are used in hospitals or airports. The technology is based on the terahertz band of the electromagnetic spectrum and we are talking about a section of the spectrum located between electromagnetic waves and infrared light. This is not the first time that said tape is used to "see" through objects, but this new technology offers the possibility to produce devices on an industrial scale and allows us to use them to "see" through wood, leather or plasterboard.
New imaging technology from the University of Texas at Dallas could make the x-ray glasses sold in the back of superhero comics a reality, at least on a cellphone. A team of researchers has found a way to make the terahertz band of the electromagnetic spectrum — the section between microwaves and infrared light — usable by medical or consumer devices. The combination of CMOS and terahertz means you could put this chip and receiver on the back of a cellphone, turning it into a device carried in your pocket that can see through objects. he combination of CMOS and terahertz means you could put this chip and receiver on the back of a cellphone, turning it into a device carried in your pocket that can see through objects.
The CMOS sensors of the mobile terminals could be the ones in which the new technology could be implemented, but for the moment the researchers are focusing on the possibility of seeing through objects that are at a maximum of 10-12 cm away from the terminals. The technology designed by them would turn any mobile terminal into a must-buy device, but first we need to see a real demonstration of how everything works.
