The sensor payload (thermopile + VL53L8CX ToF) is carried by a rigid pan-tilt assembly driven by two NEMA 17 stepper motors ...

How do you measure the inside of a cave? You could do a bunch of hard work with classic surveying gear… or you could just use a laser scanner. [9nl] did the latter, with a scanning rig of ...

BERLIN—Rohde & Schwarz is getting into the increasingly contested market for laser-based counter-drone systems. The German defense electronics specialist is unveiling the Tactical High-Energy Opponent ...

Ayyoun is a staff writer who loves all things gaming and tech. His journey into the realm of gaming began with a PlayStation 1 but he chose PC as his platform of choice. With over 6 years of ...

A 2-in-1 digital laser tape measure can simplify home projects by combining two tools into one. This device features a 165-foot laser for large spaces and a 9.8-foot traditional tape for smaller jobs.

Quantum computers get a lot of attention, even though they are not ready for prime time, but quantum sensors are already doing useful work. These sensors measure fields, forces and motion so small ...

The Demonstrator Laser Weapon System, acting as a ground-based test surrogate for the SHiELD system, was able to engage and shoot down several air-launched missiles during tests at the High Energy ...

A python hunter captured the second heaviest Burmese python on record in Florida, weighing 202 pounds. The captured female python measured 16 feet, 10 inches long and was found in the Big Cypress ...

Physicists have just dropped a new precise measurement for gravity. The newly published value for the strength of gravity, known as “G” or “Big G”, is significantly smaller than some previous ...

A special class of sensors leverages quantum properties to measure tiny signals at levels that would be impossible using classical sensors alone. Such quantum sensors are currently being used to study ...

MIT researchers have created a quantum sensor that can measure multiple physical quantities at high-resolution. The sensor is made from so-called nitrogen-vacancy centers in diamonds, where a carbon ...
