Everyone has struggled with a tape measure at some point. Often it happens high up on a ladder when you’re trying to measure an unusually wide span. And sometimes you discover too late that the ...

[Andrew] got a little help from his friends to hack a laser distance meter. Using laser distance meters as sensors is one of the great quests of hackers – with good reason. Accurate distance ...

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen DIYers sending music over a laser beam but the brothers [Armand] and [Victor] are certainly in contention for sending the music the longest distance ...

A multi-institutional team of physicists and engineers has developed a laser-based radiation detection system that operates ...

Leica Geosystems first introduced the laser distance meter in 1993, and now, more than three decades later, you can get a laser distance meter for personal use and not pay a fortune for it.

The scientists estimate that the effective distance could be as high as 100 ... at the University of Maryland, instead used a laser (specifically, an infrared pulsed carbon laser) to detect ...

"Increasing the resolution—the minimum distance between two adjacent features—is difficult because the intense laser light can cause unwanted exposure in nearby areas during DLW," said Qiulan ...
