Researchers have designed a single-photon time-of-flight LiDAR system that can acquire a high-resolution 3D image of an object or scene up to 1 kilometer away. The new system could help enhance security, monitoring, and remote sensing by enabling detailed imaging even in challenging environmental conditions or when objects are obscured by foliage or camouflage netting.
Cool, but less cool when I remember what dark shit this kind of technology can be used for
*will be used for
They probably already have something better than this otherwise it would have been relaxed publicly.
