Large-scale atom interferometers, analogous to optical interferometers but measuring the difference in phase between atomic matter waves on different paths, are intended to be key elements in future ...

Advances in quantum technology might allow astronomers to circumvent age-old issues that limit the size of optical observatories ...

In order to push the performance of optical systems, aspheric- and freeform surfaces are used in state-of-the-art optic design for correcting aberrations. The production of these complex-shaped ...

The patented QTec® laser technology reinvents laser vibration measurements by eliminating the root cause of noise, delivering superior optical sensitivity and enabling high-fidelity measurements on ...

A few years ago researchers using the radio-based Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) performed an extraordinary observation, the likes of which remains a dream for most other astronomers. The EHT team ...
