In this video, I'm testing out the VL53L0x Time Of Flight sensor that optically measures distance with some IR laser to see if it will be a good option to use in future versions of my pellet level ...

A new laser range-finding technique, inspired by quantum physics, that can measure distances under strong solar background ...

A Zürich-based team has successfully condensed complex 4D sensing technology — once too bulky for everyday use — onto a single silicon chip.

Current vision systems for robots and drones rely on 3D sensors that, although powerful, do not always keep up with the ...

The sensor continuously sends out infrared light and measures how much of that light is reflected. When a reflective object is within its set detection range, it returns a low signal. The Arduino ...

While most planets that we are familiar with stick relatively close to their host star in a predictable orbit, some planets seem to have been knocked out of their orbits, floating through space free ...

Most planets spend their lives orbiting a star, but some are destined for exile. According to a study published in Science on Jan. 1, 2026, astronomers have successfully measured the mass and distance ...

Rangefinders are a ubiquitous part of the golf experience for many players. And the technology is only getting better. (Photo by Emilee Chinn/Getty Images) Rangefinders have long been a popular ...

The answers to your question, respectively, are yes and no. Yes, RFID can measure distance. There is an English soccer club—I’m not permitted to say which one—that has deployed a solution for tracking ...
