For the rest of this century, humankind will be building cities at an unprecedented pace. But there are two other factors that will supercharge the building boom. One problem with our current building methods is that they have a high carbon footprint , meaning that the act of building will increase the need for yet more building.

The concept behind V2G had gained traction in the late 1990s after California’s landmark zero-emission-vehicle (ZEV) mandate went into effect and compelled automakers to commercialize electric cars. Over time, however, the research focus in bidirectional EV applications shifted from the grid to homes and commercial buildings.

University of Colorado Boulder researchers, with colleagues at Boston University, have developed a new optical phased array concept—the serpentine OPA (SOPA)—that could support medium- to long-range lidar. Current commercial lidar systems use large, rotating mirrors to steer the laser beam and thereby create a 3-D image.
