London-based startup Kokoon has tried to solve the problem by designing what are probably the most comfortable […]

The excavation and disposal of landmines is a time- and labor-intensive business, so it can be quite a waste of resources if the detected object is not actually a mine. A new system could help, by reducing the number of mine-hunting errors. Currently, most landmine-detection technologies work by detecting the electromagnetic signature that’s passively emitted by the mine. Unfortunately, though, […]
