The MIT radar, seen here from the back, can see through concrete walls up to eight inches ...

A group of MIT researchers has developed a radar that provides a video of what goes on behind a concrete wall. Like any radar, the device emits radio waves that bounce off objects and analysis of the feedback signal. Dr. Gregory Charvat and his colleagues at MIT Lincoln Laboratory estimate that into a wall eight inches thick of concrete is possible at a distance of about 60 feet (18.3 m). The percentage of 99.9975 radar signal back after bouncing off the wall into account. The remaining part is through the back wall and is amplified and used to generate real-time of 10.8 frames per second display targets on the other side ...
