Superman-inspired chip brings X-Ray vision to regular smartphones
Researchers develop a Superman-inspired compact imager chip for mobile devices to detect objects behind walls or within packages.
According to the team, their technology will enable devices to detect studs, wooden beams or wiring behind walls, cracks in pipes, or outlines of contents in envelopes and packages. According to researchers, these tiny devices incorporate a low-noise amplifier, a differential gain stage, and a sophisticated mixer to extract signal amplitude and phase. The pixels, which create images by detecting signals reflected from a target object, have the shape of a 0.5-mm square, about the size of a grain of sand,” said Dr. Wooyeol Choi, assistant professor at Seoul National University and the corresponding author of the latest paper, in a statement.
