Scientists hope that a new supercomputer being built by Syracuse University's Department of Physics may help them identify the sound of a celestial black hole.
ESA's test centre is buzzing with activity and anticipation as it welcomes its latest guest. The gigantic telescope of ESA's space-based infrared observatory, Herschel, is being prepared to be assembled with its spacecraft in the next few weeks.
NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft is aiming its largest telescope at five stars in a search for alien (exosolar) planets as it enters its extended mission, called EPOXI. Deep Impact made history when the mission team directed an impactor from the spacecraft into comet Tempel 1 on July 4, 2005. NASA recently extended the mission, redirecting the spacecraft for a flyby of comet Hartley 2 on Oct. 11, 2010.
Alps Electric today announces the launch of new aspherical glass lenses using lead-free glass in its lineup of 35 existing aspherical glass lenses for optical communications, including fiber to the home (FTTH) and submarine cable. Sample shipments will commence in April 2008.
NASA announced Thursday that members of the general public from around the world will have a chance to suggest a new name for the cutting edge Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, otherwise known as GLAST, observatory before it launches in mid-2008. The satellite will observe some of the most powerful forces known in the universe.
In a study that could lay the foundation for mass-produced single-molecule sensors, physicists and engineers at Rice University have demonstrated a means of simultaneously making optical and electronic measurements of the same molecule.
Light pipes are becoming increasingly popular as a means of homogenizing, conducting and reshaping light for use in a wide range of optical equipment and assemblies.
The 4th Japanese Forum on Thermography, organised by Cedip Infrared Systems, attracted over 70 participants from leading academic institutions and companies from the automotive, electronics, steelworking and photonics sectors.
Star Instruments, a leading manufacturer of Ritchey-Chrétien optical systems, and RC Optical Systems, Inc., a leading manufacturer of Ritchey-Chrétien telescopes, today announced that Meade Instruments Corporation and its dealers have effectively signed a settlement agreement to rename their RCX400 and LX200R line of telescopes that they claimed contained “Advanced Ritchey-Chrétien” optics.
FEI Company has introduced a revolutionary, high-throughput, cryo transmission electron microscope (TEM) that combines high- throughput sample handling with state-of- the-art electron optics. It provides fast, fully-automated three-dimensional data about biological molecules and macromolecular complexes.
