At a time when silicon-based electronics are up against the demand for faster computing and tinier devices — particularly with the rise of AI, ML, and quantum computing — researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene. Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms arranged […]

What types of sensors are used in underwater navigation and exploration? (Part 2 of 2)
Underwater navigation and exploration require special sensors for object detection and imaging. Part 1 of this blog addressed cameras and sonar. LiDAR is also used for underwater applications. Studying the depths and shapes of underwater terrain or bathymetry can be performed by bathymetric LiDAR. The airborne approach to scanning the seafloor uses a green wavelength […]
