Scientists have found a way to see the apartment completely through the keyhole
Scientists at Stanford's Computational Imaging Lab have found a way to see the entire apartment through a small keyhole. Experts have developed a laser that can see the room and objects in it through a hole in the front door, according to Gizmodo. The technology is called “visualization out of line of sight.” The beam of light that comes from the laser is scattered from the wall. After returning the light beams back, the system analyzes the travel time back and reproduces the picture through special algorithms.
In the event that the laser manages to capture a stationary object, then it can recreate its image. He does not have time to process moving objects immediately, because of this, the visualized object comes out blurred, which complicates its identification.
Scientists are confident that their developments will be useful to the police and the military when they need to scan the premises before the assault. To do this, they will only need to drill one hole.
In addition, scientists note that the technology can provide an irreplaceable service in the system of unmanned vehicles. It could detect threats on the road long before other sensors in a car or a person notice it.
Earlier it was reported that American physicists have created a new metal for the production of electronics. During the experiment, the specialists managed to discover the electron-photon liquid inside NbGe2. Based on the information they received, they invented a metal sample in which the movement of electrons occurs in a special way. It can be compared to water flowing in a pipe.
Back in Israel, they created a car that can be reduced in width to one meter. The tiny car was shown at the IAA auto show in Munich. They also announced the start of accepting orders. Car prices start at 12,500 euros.
