Watch out: Mobile phones might peep through your walls

Alright, if you enjoy getting an eyeful of what’s happening around or delight in eavesdropping, then here’s something interesting. Some researchers at UT Dallas have amazingly devised an imager clip that will enable mobile phones to peek through walls and other objects. So, how many points do we get for sharing this tidbit?

Nevertheless, the new chip employs an effectual microchip technology and consists of foraying into an unexplored range in the electromagnetic spectrum. Since terahertz assortment is not yet utilized thoroughly, the latest development may help see the sights for consumer use and life-saving medical applications.

Not only this, the technology also benefits from the employment of Complementary Metal-Oxide Semi Conductor – which usually is discovered in high definition television, personal computers, mobile devices and game consoles. Due to which, the amalgamation of (aforementioned terahertz and CMOS technology) will enable users to position this chop and receiver on the rear of their mobile phone.

Subsequently, the integration will thus transmogrify the handset into a device that could be piggybacked or carried in skinny pockets to see through objects. Truly innovative, we must say. Anyways, Dr O and his entire team have also taken care of users’ privacy concerns by zeroing on a distance range of less than four inches.

If we go by what the developers have to say, by taking advantage of this new imager clip, applications will be ranging from spotting studs in walls to authentication of important documents. Besides this, businesses are also allowed to play on the technology’s potent capabilities and use it to detect counterfeit money whereas manufacturing companies are enabled to apply it to process control.

In the field of medical practices, terahertz will allow for the identification of cancer tumors, monitoring of air toxicity, and diagnosis of diseases through breath analysis. As the technology is still under the development phase, it might be a bit too early to comment anything about its availability. However, users will surely be able to use their handsets for sneaking a quick look through walls and other objects. So, let’s just wait.
