Researchers Develop Imager Chip Inspired by Superman’s X-Ray Vision

Researchers from The University of Texas at Dallas and Seoul National University have developed an imager chip inspired by Superman’s X-ray vision, set to revolutionize object detection in mobile devices. The technology, showcased in a recent study and detailed in IEEE Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology, utilizes signals from 200 to 400 gigahertz for safety. Supported by Texas Instruments and Samsung, the chip offers enhanced image quality and privacy features, with future plans to visualize smaller objects from up to 5 inches away.
