By using muon-detecting ground stations synchronized with an underground muon-detecting receiver, researchers at the University of Tokyo were able to calculate the receiver\u2019s position in the basement of a six-story building. As GPS cannot penetrate rock or water, this new technology could be used in future search and rescue efforts, to monitor undersea volcanoes, and guide autonomous vehicles underground and underwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>read more on UTokyo FOCUS&nbsp;:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/focus\/en\/press\/z0508_00291.html\">https:\/\/www.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/focus\/en\/press\/z0508_00291.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Superfast, subatomic-sized particles called muons have been used to wirelessly navigate underground in a repor &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/award\/5721\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;\u3010Press Release\u3011Navigating underground with cosmic-ray muons\u3000New technology enables navigation in places GPS can\u2019t reach&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5721","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-award","category-whats-new"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5721"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5721"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5721\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5726,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5721\/revisions\/5726"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5721"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5721"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5721"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
