In a new paper, published in Optica, researchers describe a new silicon chip—with no moving parts or electronics—that improves the resolution and scanning speed needed for a lidar system.

It is the nature of an engineer to meet challenges with curiosity and persistence until a solution arises. Right now, our planet faces no greater challenge than that presented by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our students and faculty meet that challenge every day when they provide clear and accurate information for the public, take on and solve key research questions rapidly and collaborate with everyone at the table trying to solve the challenge.
