A new technique involving lasers can measure long distances more precisely than ever, which could be useful for space ...

One handy feature is the ability to measure the real-world distance between any number of selected points. This way, you can quickly find the straight-line distance between two cities, or the ...

It would be impossible to draw a life-size map and we need to know the scale to work out distances. Once the scale of the map is known, it is possible to measure the distance between two points.

A team of physicists and engineers at China's Hefei National Laboratory has succeeded in conducting the first instance of precise absolute distance measurement over a path exceeding 100 km.

Measure the width and length of your hands, and the distance from fingertip to forearm for right and left sides. Then the ...

One critical challenge for engineers is to measure distances with ever greater accuracy. In recent years, this has become possible with nanometer resolution over distances of a few meters. That means ...

Measuring the distance using lasers is a mainstay of self-driving vehicles and ambitious robotics projects. The fine folks at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL ...

At its core is the main M-Cube itself, a laser measurement device that can tackle distances across a room with relative ease. The Single Laser offers precision over a distance of up to 164 feet ...
