Being able to take accurate measurements is a necessity for various industries. It’s crucial when surveying and construction, design, and mapmaking operations because they need precise data that can ...

"Way easier than dealing with a long tape measure.

Ever found yourself frustrated with inaccurate measurements that ruin your DIY projects? Imagine transforming your measuring tasks with a tool that combines the best of digital and laser technology.

Traditionally, the technology that goes into laser hardware for surveying and 3D modeling has been the plaything of architects, surveyors and engineers. But now, with a view to expanding into the ...

Sometimes you absolutely, positively need to know the angle of the cutting edge on a knife. When you do, the best tool for the job is a laser goniometer, and [Felix Immler] shows us three different ...

How do you measure something that’s not in a straight line? Rulers and tape measures work, but only so well, and at certain points you’re making an approximation as you try to fit the object to the ...

iPhone dongles can do everything from high-speed data transfers to testing for HIV. At Computex 2015 in Taipei this week, a local manufacturer is showing off a laser pointer for the Apple phone that ...

Ophir Photonics Group, global leader in precision laser measurement equipment and a Newport Corporation company, today announced four new thermal laser sensors designed for measuring high pulse ...

Engineers often have to measure power, and this power can take many forms: DC or low-frequency, wired or wireless RF, or optical. In addition, the dynamic range of power to be measured spans many ...

Physicists in Australia have for the first time performed a measurement task with an atom laser. The achievement opens up the possibility of manipulating an atom-laser beam so that it may be used to ...

Engineers know that measuring dc or low-frequency electrical power is fairly straightforward, but such measurements become more difficult as you go up the spectrum into the tens-of-gigahertz range.
