Use of LiDAR in Drone Applications
Two modern technologies – drones and LiDAR sensors–work together to provide applications that benefit humanity. Most people think the word drone means a modern unmanned aircraft full of cameras and other devices built with the purpose of invading your airspace and privacy. In fact, drones or unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV) are not new, if we consider them as the successors of balloons. In 1849, for instance, Austria sent unmanned bomb-filled balloons to attack Venice, setting up the model for modern warfare using distance bombing.

Lookout Silicon, Carbon Nanotubes and Graphene are Coming
For decades the semiconductor industry has been packing more and more silicon transistors onto each computer chip to keep steadily improving performance, but that process will soon reach its physical limit. Increasingly scientists are looking to silicon’s neighbor on the periodic table, carbon. Specifically, carbon nanotubes (CNTs) and graphene.
