Rappaport, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Northeastern University in Boston, said the depth of many tunnels also posed a technological challenge. Some can be as deep as 90 feet, beyond the reach of most ground-radar devices and sensors. “Soil is very good at keeping secrets,” said Mr. Rappaport, who has […] Article Northeastern University using microwaves to diagnose breast cancer The same kinds of microwaves used in air traffic control radar is being used by researchers at Northeastern University to better see and diagnose breast cancer. Since microwaves bounce back differently depending on what they hit and where they hit it, electrical and computer engineering professor Carey Rappaport says the technology is ideal to look […] Carey Rappaport for Northeastern Global News Northeastern University researchers are designing airport security systems to scan travelers as they walk past Northeastern University researchers are designing airport security systems to scan travelers as they walk past Researchers at Northeastern are working to build a system that could keep travelers moving and cut down on long wait times at airports.
