Using two NASA satellites, astronomers have discovered the heftiest known black hole to orbit a star. The new black hole, with a mass 24 to 33 times that of our Sun, is more massive than scientists expected for a black hole that formed from a dying star.
Quantum cryptography was used in a real-world application for the first time when the Swiss went to vote in their national elections last week. A quantum key distribution (QKD) system protected the dedicated line that transmitted the ballots to the counting station, guaranteeing the secrecy and security of the data.
Cyberlux Corporation, a leading provider of LED lighting solutions, announced today that the Company has received a commitment for 17 BrightEye Visible and Covert Portable Illumination Systems from the National Guard Bureau.
Boston Micromachines Corporation (BMC), a leading provider of MEMS-based deformable mirror (DM) products for adaptive optics (AO) systems, today announced that it has been awarded a $750,000 Phase II Small Business Innovation Research Grant (SBIR) from the National Eye Institute (NEI) of the National Institutes of Health (NIH).
The University of Texas at San Antonio and The University of Texas at Austin are two of five research universities in a nationwide consortium awarded $1.4 million from the National Science Foundation. The Nanoscale Interdisciplinary Research Team (NIRT) grant is designed to explore ways of concentrating optical energy on a scale of nanometers and develop means of controlling optical energy for applications in nanoscience and nanotechnology.
