NASA’s high-tech device detects human life beneath rubble
NASA has developed a powerful life-saving device that can detect even the tiniest human movement beneath rubble or snow after a disaster. The technology, known as FINDER (Finding Individuals for Disaster and Emergency Response), uses advanced microwave radar sensors to sense a trapped person’s heartbeat or breathing—even if they’re buried under concrete or debris.
