A team of engineers at Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania have created a devise that can “See without being seen” by using a technique of reflecting light directly at each other to cancel each other out deeming the devise invisible. The engineers use a coating method that makes the surface of the reflectors more [...]

Scientists  at MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory have created a new radar that is used to see through walls. This technology has been around, but this new radar system can be seen in real-time at a constant frame rate of 10.8 frames per second, instead of one picture every 20 minutes. Using many antenna, 8 receivers and [...]
