This goes to show that even seemingly ridiculous (from the layman&#x27;s POV) technology can be eventually used to create tecnology that can directly better our lives.<p>This was originally designed to detect alien life on other planets, but was converted to look for heartbeats and breathing under rubble.

This technology is really awesome, but I have to admit that I am scared to death of anything that can find me by my heartbeat under 6 feet of building rubble. The first thing that came to mind were those robotic octopi from The Matrix.

Off topic, but this headline is a good example of a crash blossom: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Syntactic_ambiguity#In_headlines" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;en.wikipedia.org&#x2F;wiki&#x2F;Syntactic_ambiguity#In_headline...</a>

First of, Thanks for this technology that helped save some of my countrymen. This goes to show that technology can indeed help in many avenues to save lives. I am originally from Nepal living in NYC, and looking for ideas that could create technology-aided sustainable development as a key to rebuilding. Ideas that come to me, which might have high $$ values for implementation are - 3D printed housing, Organic Farming for quick rehabilitation on these villages, Open-Source BTS for communications etc. As costs go lower, these affected areas might be the right place to implement these. As much as I am devastated by what is happening in Nepal right now with the death toll only rising, I would like to reach out to the technology community out here or anywhere to provide me with ideas into helping us rebuild. Most of the relief efforts are donation-based, however, for longer term - creating a sustainable economy in these low privileged areas with the help of emerging technologies is what I think is crucial for faster recovery.

With technology like this, Anne Frank&#x27;s diary, if written today, would be the size of tweet.

It sure is great for those guys.<p>But it also says it is getting harder and harder to hide...

I wonder for how long the Navy Seals have been using this.

I can&#x27;t believe nobody&#x27;s said it... They&#x27;re &quot;scanning for lifeforms&quot;.<p>Chalk up another Star Trek technology made real!

Slightly OT, but along the same lines.<p>Measuring the human pulse from tiny head movements to help diagnose cardiac disease [1]<p>[1] <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kurzweilai.net&#x2F;measuring-the-human-pulse-from-tiny-head-movements-to-help-diagnose-cardiac-disease" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.kurzweilai.net&#x2F;measuring-the-human-pulse-from-tin...</a>

So how does this actually work? What aspect of a heartbeat is detectable in such circumstances?

This is both fantastic and frightening. Imagine what capabilities the US military has for finding people.

Is this part of the program that just received budget cuts so that NASA can focus on the &#x27;hard sciences&#x27;?

&quot;NASA&#x27;s&quot; yea right. This screams military tech.
