Wow, super cool! So I take it they're not good for medical imaging? Either go right through too easily to cast a shadow or harmful in some way? The truck scanner stuff is cool though, albeit a bit surveillancey. I'm sure archaeologists would love to have portable muon tomography though! I wonder what else this will end up being used for... Seems like there's surely lots of possibilities left.
