MIT researchers unveil wireless X-ray vision prototype
MIT researchers led by Dina Katabi develop software using radio signal variations to detect human silhouettes through walls and track movements in real time. The device could monitor breathing and heart rate, alert caregivers, assist in health care, and raise privacy concerns as a potential tool for military and law enforcement. Emerald, the commercial spinout, aims to market the device for 250 to 300 dollars in 2017.

Final curtain falls on Hollywood junkyard legacy in L A
Nathan Adlen of Adlen Brothers Auto Wrecking in the San Fernando Valley says 26 acres of his prop-filled site will be cleared by New Year’s Eve. The yard has hosted more than 200 productions and preserves famous items like Bruce the shark and a large 1990s boom box. Rising costs and collapsing scrap prices push toward liquidation.
