Hobbyist builds mmWave radar that classifies materials
A developer created a millimeter-wave radar system that can classify materials like wood, plastic, and metal. The project uses a 60GHz radar module and machine learning to identify substances based on their reflection signatures. The open-source design includes hardware schematics and software for real-time classification.

While impressive as a DIY project, the system's practical applications remain limited without higher accuracy and broader material libraries.
