MIT Technology Review's authoritative overview of the 10 technologies, emerging trends, bold ideas, and powerful movements in AI in 2026. Launching next week on T-Mobile's network, the cell plan takes ...

Scientists have developed a new way that can enable a person to see through opaque objects with the help of light. In 2007, Ivo Vellekoop and Allard Mosk at the University of Twente in Enschede, the ...

New experiments show that it's possible to focus light through opaque materials and detect objects hidden behind them, provided you know enough about the material. Materials such as paper, paint, and ...

While this system works well enough on relatively dull opaque objects, it has problems with transparent items that much of the light passes through, or shiny objects that scatter the reflected light.

If you think X-rays and other forms of radiation have a monopoly on penetrating opaque objects, visible light begs to differ. It actually can pass through things like paint and human tissue, which has ...

An innovative new way to focus beams of neutrons might allow scientists to probe the interiors of opaque objects at a size range they were blind to previously, allowing them to explore the innards of ...

A seemingly paradoxical prediction in physics has now been confirmed in an experiment: No matter whether an object is opaque or transparent, the average length of the light's paths through the object ...

Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University have been able to teach robots to pick up transparent or reflective objects. This has been a challenge for robots in the past, and the way researchers have ...

(Nanowerk News) Kitchen robots are a popular vision of the future, but if a robot of today tries to grasp a kitchen staple such as a clear measuring cup or a shiny knife, it likely won't be able to.
