Next time you're trying to get from New York City to Chicago, you might want to try going through New Jersey. Not on the turnpike, but through Teterboro Airport, which is just 12 miles from Manhattan and forbids big airline jets. You can arrive just 20 minutes before your flight.

The devices can make inferences, looking for evidence of water or iron. And if the microscopic imager sent...
