Revolutionizing Navigation with Cosmic Rays.
TL;DR
Japanese researchers are developing a new navigation system called MUWNS that uses cosmic ray muons to create high-precision navigation systems that can penetrate buildings. The reference points detect cosmic rays and relay information to receivers, allowing for very precise navigation. Muons penetrate deeper than other particles due to their greater mass, and even a Raspberry Pi can detect them.
