Lidar, which is the highest spatial resolution realized by a pulsed CDWL to our best knowledge. Many international leading lidar technologies were born in the same lab, which is known as the laboratory of Intelligent Remote Sensing Engineering of Nanjing University of Information Science & Technology.

Nanjing has ranked 8th globally in terms of its scientific research for four years according to Nature Index. With more than 120 national R&D platforms and more than 30 national key laboratories in this city, the R&D expenses accounted for 3.7% of GDP. According to a South China Morning Post (SCMP) report, Purple Mountain Laboratories achieved a 6G-level wireless transmission up to a speed of 206.25 gigabits per second, which is reportedly a world record for real-time wireless transmission speeds within the terahertz frequency band. Also, In 2019, for the first time, Cambridge University established an overseas collaborative research institute named Cambridge University-Nanjing Science, Technology and Innovation Center.This is so far the only center named by Cambridge University in China.
