New technology to read books without opening them14.09.2016 17:10 / Technological innovations
Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Georgia Tech have adapted terahertz radiation technology such that it is possible to read a book through its cover.
While such technology might appear to be little more than a novelty, Barmak Heshmat, one of the researchers at the MIT Media Lab responsible for developing the technology, noted that “the Metropolitan Museum in New York showed a lot of interest in this, because they want to, for example, look into some antique books that they don’t even want to touch.”
