Breakthrough Laser Tech Enhances LiDAR Accuracy and Gas Detection
- Friday June 27, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Researchers from NTNU and EPFL have developed a compact, low-cost laser on a photonic chip using thin-film lithium niobate. This new laser enables ultrafast, mode-hop-free tuning and delivers stable performance with a single control knob. Demonstrated in LiDAR systems, it achieved 4 cm range precision for self-driving cars and also detected trace h...

Green Rooftops Could Help Cities Like Shanghai Filter Out Tons of Microplastics from Rainwater
- Monday June 23, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A Tongji University study shows green roofs can trap most rainborne microplastics, with soil capturing the majority. If all Shanghai rooftops went green, they could remove 56.2 metric tons of microplastics each year, highlighting a promising method for tackling urban pollution.
