peek through light walls

If those new sensors really can see already through it's just a
question of time until those are so high sensitive that it's
possible to see at least a bit directly into the ground!

However it's not real x-ray (alpha, beta or gamma radiation)
but terahertz (between microwaves and invisible infrared (heat) ).

At least this technology is now available for the consumer market (compared to backscatter-x-ray devices)
and someone may take a quick look whats below the leafs in autumn or if the girls on the beach are pierced!

You do realise that this news report is dated March 30th, and it states that the app will be available in April?
An early April Fool?

I don't think so, because the 2nd info link has written already 2 years ago about this technology.

With CCD or whatever sensors they used, the Sony Nightshot saw invisible infrared already 20 years ago.
So it should be no big problem to extend the frequency spectrum a bit more down to micro-wave.
And the (still very expensive) temperature-cameras also capture waves around that spectrum.

If this technology is sensitive enough it also may show hidden cavity because of different ground temperatures.

btw. Really useful would be a smartphone app that works like a real X-Ray-meter because there are meanwhile
alot x-radiating bullets and other war-remainings scattered around - especially at Syria, Irak and Afghanistan.

May Not be April Fools?
If you look at the Technology being used at Airports now, it can see right through solid metal boxes and see Drugs and/or food inside them.

Watching i think it was call Weapons Factory a few weeks ago and the military already use and have been for sometime goggles that can see people through walls. It was not just looking for heat. Quite impressive it was like the wall were not there. The company making them did say that the emergency services were looking at them.


Surprised they showed it. Guess someone is now making a weapon that can backtrack to the wearer

There's a big difference between the Terahertz equipment they are testing in airports, and an iPhone App.

See-through breakthrough

that it can see through everyday objects that other types of electromagnetic scanning can’t safely penetrate.

google has alot more info links about it.


Usually there are 3 main states:

- self radiating
- energized
- not radiating

Energized means that the material is under the influence of some kind of radiation - per instance temperature.
Atoms act completly different if the temperature is extremly cold or hot.

Metal detectors also energize with EM-radiation the buried stuff which is affective enough to it.
Even totally passive stuff is detectable if the rest around is higher active, per instance detectable as a shadow or cavity.


However I doubt that the usual foto sensors are good enough for such "low" frequency spectrum.
You can see the (usual invisible) LED pulses of remote controls blink with digicams etc. but microwave are still alot below.
