Using a wide range of sensors and an ultra-broadband network created by team members, emergency services can orientate themselves and coordinate effectively even without GNSS, light or external communication. <p>In the NIKE MATE project, the focus is on navigating tunnels…
Cosmic-ray muons navigate underground
