After having put young adults with normal vision through a battery of tests, scientists were able to conclude that females are better at discriminating among…
Most lasers are made up of silicon wafers using expensive processes, similar to the ones used to make microprocessors. Scientists have designed a new way…
Scientists have been able to generate the world’s fastest laser pulse with a beam shot for 67 attoseconds (0.000000000000000067 seconds). This breaks the previous record…
Max Planck Institute scientists examined the transmission behavior of photonic crystal fibers when they were twisted, finding that the transmission of certain wavelengths becomes much…
It was previously thought that making a lens out of highly energetic light, gamma rays, was impossible. Physicists have created such a lens and think…
Quantum physicists have constructed an elementary network for storing and exchanging quantum information. The network was setup with two all-purpose nodes, which can send, receive,…
Lasers beams have been used for the first time to trigger and divert lightning bolts. It was first postulated in the 1990s that lasers could…
NASA’s Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) has a total of 9,000 individual mirror segments that are only 200 microns thick and will be the first…
The Giant Magellan Telescope is designed to employ a series of seven 28-foot (8.5 meters) mirrors, which will be arranged in a honeycomb pattern. It…
Together, the twin telescopes of the Gemini Observatory, which consists of two 8.1 m (27 ft) telescopes in Hawaii and Chile, provide almost complete coverage…
