Superman isn’t the only one who can see through solid matter.Researchers in Atlanta, Ga, have invented a radar flashlight that can detect a person’s presence through walls and doors.
Radar is 1 for radio detecting and receiving.The radar flashlight gives 2 radio waves, some of which are 3 by solid materials and some of which penetrate(穿透)materials 4 in thickness from clothing to walls and doors.The penetrating radio waves then bounce off people and objects on the other side of walls and doors and are reflected back through those 5 to the radar flashlight.
To 6 whether a living person is behind a barrier, the device uses a computer chip to analyze the reflected radio waves.The chip is programmed to 7 slight variations in radio reflections that indicate a heartbeat or respiration and the process of breathing.
“These 8 make the flashlight potentially useful to police officers in ambush(埋伏)situations and to prison guards doing bed checks,”said Gene Greneker, a researcher at the Georgia Institute of Technology.
Other uses for the technology include 9 people in a room during a hostage situation, based on radar reflections of their movement or breathing, and finding 10 in the ruins of earthquakes, fires, or accidents.
