A new method for measuring distance based on an optical frequency comb has been unveiled by physicists in the Netherlands. The main benefit of the technique, which involves passing the light from an ...

Scientists have demonstrated the fastest distance measurement so far. The researchers demonstrated on-the-fly sampling of a gun bullet profile with micrometer accuracy. The experiment relied on a ...

Fringe conference can be traced to the automatic processing of fringe patterns. The term “patterns” evokes an image of flowing lines elegantly wrapped around surface contours. However, automatic ...

Optical sensors are successfully used for measurement in many areas, such as the position sensing of moving objects or the measurement of distance. The types of sensor elements used in these ...

A team of astronomers has used asteroseismology, or the study of stellar oscillations, to accurately measure the distance of stars from the Earth. Their research examined thousands of stars and ...

Q: I know that Google Maps allows you to measure distances, but I can’t figure out where to find this option. A: There are so many powerful and somewhat hidden features of Google Maps and for those ...

If you’ve made a robot or played around with electronics before, you might have used a time-of-flight laser distance sensor before. More modern ones detect not just the first reflection, but analyze ...

The imbalance isn’t new, only its scale. In Dürer’s Melencolia I, etched a decade before his treatise, a winged figure broods ...
