The best laser measures help you to measure distances much more accurately than fiddling about with a traditional tape measure. These devices, which are also known as 'laser distance measurers', ...

Have you ever wondered how astronomers measure the distance to other objects in the universe? How do they make claims that this nebula is 1,500 light years distance or that galaxy is 2.5 million light ...

Polyprolines of different lengths, relatively stiff polypeptides, served as intramolecular “nanometer rulers” to demonstrate the highest MINFLUX resolutions in the Förster resonance energy transfer ...

If you’ve made a robot or played around with electronics before, you might have used a time-of-flight laser distance sensor before. More modern ones detect not just the first reflection, but analyze ...

Researchers have found a way to measure distances to objects three times farther away in outer space than previously possible, by extending a common measurement technique. They discovered that a rare ...

Q: I know that Google Maps allows you to measure distances, but I can’t figure out where to find this option. A: There are so many powerful and somewhat hidden features of Google Maps, and for those ...

A team of astronomers has used asteroseismology, or the study of stellar oscillations, to accurately measure the distance of stars from the Earth. Their research examined thousands of stars and ...

Physicists have improved the accuracy of a technique that uses variable stars to measure distances in the universe, providing a new figure for its expansion rate. When you purchase through links on ...

Q: I know that Google Maps allows you to measure distances, but I can’t figure out where to find this option. A: There are so many powerful and somewhat hidden features of Google Maps and for those ...

Haroun joined Android Police in 2021, reporting on the latest stories in the tech world. Since then, he’s gleefully covered everything from the most mundane Google Docs features to more mainstream ...
