Chinese researchers have unveiled a laser imaging system so precise, it can reconstruct text as small as a sesame seed from 1.36 kilometers away. Using active intensity interferometry, the technology overcomes atmospheric distortion—something that stumps traditional optics—by analyzing fluctuations in bounced infrared laser beams. This level of detail opens doors far beyond espionage. Scientists envision applications in archaeology, wildlife tracking, space observation, and disaster response. With AI and precision laser upgrades on the way, this ‘spy’ laser might soon become one of the most powerful remote-sensing tools on Earth. #ChinaTech #LaserInnovation #SpyTech #RemoteSensing #NextGenSurveillance #LaserImaging #ScienceBreakthrough
