Analysis of a volcanic plume that wafted over central Alaska suggests that polarized laser beams can detect airborne ash, which in large concentrations can be a significant threat to aircraft.

Remote detection The ability to locate radioactive material at distances greater than the range of emitted particles could play an important role in nuclear disaster response and nuclear security.

Swindon, UK – One of the world’s fastest detectors, capable of capturing images in billionths of a second, has been developed by the UK for use at the world’s largest X-ray laser, the European XFEL.

Following its recent launch of integrating sphere laser power detector series, Gentec-EO now adds another model of fast laser power detectors, the IS50A-1KW-RSI. Probably the most remarkable feature ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Broadly speaking, the purpose of a laser level is to measure long, flat surfaces, as well as ensure that they're leveled out. In theory, the ...

I’ll level with you, until I was commissioned to cover these now central components of the construction industry, I’d never actually used a laser level before. Spirit levels, countless times in the ...
