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.

        Hey YouTube, today we’re testing this photon detector I found browsing ebay that was sold by some friendly russians. It’s been collecting dust for 10 years but due to some recent developments it’s as relevant as ever! Now I’ll be able to see the feds coming from miles away!
