A pair of Sydney Ph.D. students helped sharpen the view of humanity's most powerful space observatory—without leaving Earth.

Go visit a sacred ancient site, if possible one featuring a high density of megalithic architecture, and when you get back tell me, hand on heart, you didn’t feel something. Modern archaeology, for ...

The bandgap defines how insulators absorb light and conduct electricity. XUV high-harmonic interferometry now lets ...

Matter-wave interference experiments enable us to study matter at its most basic, quantum level and form the basis of high-precision sensors for applications such as inertial and gravitational field ...

Fringe conference can be traced to the automatic processing of fringe patterns. The term “patterns” evokes an image of flowing lines elegantly wrapped around surface contours. However, automatic ...

Microlenses have many applications, such as coupling light into fiber optics, enhancing light source uniformity in microdisplays, and focusing light onto imaging sensors in mobile phone cameras.

The ESO (European Southern Observatory) has announced the successful observation of an exoplanet using optical interferometry. It's the first time an exoplanet has been "seen" in this manner and the ...

This image compares data from two Iceye Synthetic Aperture Radar images. Changes in the vertical height of the surface appear black. Areas without changes are depicted in white. Credit: Iceye SAN ...

It is useful for expanding the effective aperture of the interferometer, in one axis. The measurement area is around the same size as the beam when a laser interferometer's round measurement beam ...
