Yet Another Invisibility Technology
from the everything's-going-translucent dept
Invisibility is the next big thing, apparently. Last week we had the story of Japanese researchers working on an invisibility system, and now there are reports from researchers in Europe working on terahertz radiation "photographs" that would let people see through certain objects. Everything apparently gives off terahertz radiation, but the waves can pass through some materials. In the article, they talk about a photograph of a hand was taken through a stack of papers and (get this) a human body was shown through the clothes they wore. After years of cheap plastic glasses claiming they could see through clothes, this technology might actually make it possible. Forget medical uses and bomb detection stuff: just think of the market for teenaged boys...

Old news
I've read about this back in the early 90s. The images are still very poor quality. Looks like it's a pretty difficult medium to work with.

Teenaged boys
I'm sure there is a market for teenaged boys, but you would have to be pretty odd to want to buy one though. I have one at home and I couldn't give him away!!

Re: Teenaged boys
Actually, this would be a hard sell.
Teenage boys are interested in beauty -- which is skin deep. This camera goes right through the skin.
I doubt that I would be to interested in erotic pictures of a girl's spleen or liver.
