Researchers at MIT are always in a hurry to develop some of the best technology in the world.

Now they have come up with a device that can detect the presence of Land Mines and can also tell the country which manufactured them.

They have developed a device that uses a powerful and focuses beam of high frequency sound waves that can penetrate under the ground. When the sound beam comes in contact with a mine or some other things that are buried, the collision causes some vibration under the ground, which pushes the dirt around the area.

According to the researchers the mines vibrate in a different fashion than the rest of the things that are buried underground and the device can also detect the manufacturers of the mines by their unique signatures.

May be the device can also be used to find some hidden treasures too...!
