His specially engineered laser sensors and drones help reveal the impact of greenhouse gases and air pollutants on the climate, where pollutants come from, and how clouds of air pollution — such as ...

Earthquake damaged buildings, bridges and other critical infrastructure may be evaluated more quickly for safety and response options following an event with new optical sensor technology and software ...

A new fiber-optic laser system can measure wind speed and direction up to 1000 meters in front of a wind turbine, giving the massive machines enough precious seconds to proactively adapt to gusts and ...

The profile sensors project a laser line transversely onto the wheel surface, which is located transversely to the direction of the track. A high quality optical system concentrates the diffuse ...

[Neumi] wrote in with a sweet robotics hack. It’s a 2D laser distance sensor (YouTube) made with a cheap line laser and an optical mouse’s flow-sensor chip used as a low-resolution camera. In one ...

MORPHO (Manufacturing, Overhaul, Repair for Prognosis Health Overreach) was a Horizon 2020 funded research project (September 2021 – January 2025) that aimed to optimize the manufacturing and life ...

What can you do with laser that destroys glass lenses? Zap incoming missiles, neutralize armored vehicles, and wipe out night vision goggles, for starters. In Wired News, I describe the Laser Crazer, ...
