Japanese scientists test cosmic ray GPS that works through walls and underwater

Scientists from the University of Tokyo in Japan have conducted their first tests of a new navigation system that uses cosmic rays for location tracking rather than the radio waves relied on with GPS.

Ars Technica reports the researchers recently published their findings in a paper in the iScience journal.

But can it travel through tinfoil?

I hope this goes mainstream soon, even if it's just to watch the spectacle of all the obsolete GPS/BeiDou/Galileo satellites burn up on re-entry.

Very useful when you don't have to transmit location and recording is enough.

Subspace tracking, engaged!

They should have called it the MUotronic Portable Positioning and Extreme Terrain Scanning system, then all the users could be called muppets.
