Highest resolution imaging in astronomy is achieved by interferometry, connecting telescopes over increasingly longer distances and at successively shorter wavelengths. Here, we present the first ...

A radio interferometer array operating at 20 GHz would be developed at Indian Institute of Technology, Indore (IIT-I) soon. The work on developing state-of-the-art interferometer, which is perhaps the ...

South Africa is becoming one of the world’s most important radio astronomy hubs, thanks in large part to its role as co-host of the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). Now a new telescope is being unveiled ...

MOUNT WILSON, Calif.-Georgia State University's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) and the French company ALPAO have signed a contract for the development of an adaptive optics ...

After 400 years, the original telescope design is getting a major upgrade. Part of a DARPA funded project, Lockheed Martin's Segmented Planar Imaging Detector for Electro-optical Reconnaissance ...

A high-precision fiber laser system developed by NKT Photonics and TeraXion is at the heart of a major new astronomical observatory that has just started operations – the Atacama Large ...

EADS is exploring potential adaptation of the Eurohawk electronic intelligence (ELINT) -gathering interferometer array for use as the basis of a "Wild Weasel" unmanned combat air vehicle (UCAV). The ...

Optics.org speaks to researchers in Sweden who have developed 1D and 2D position sensitive detectors as well as a compact and cost-effective spectrometer. Combining a position-sensitive detector (PSD) ...

Hypertelescope capable of direct high-resolution imaging with a high limiting magnitude have been built and tested on Earth. The Hypertelescope group have proposed giant telescopes 10-25 kilometers ...

The design of telescopes hasn't changed much since Galileo used one to gaze at the moon 400 years ago. But they could be about to undergo a radical makeover. Engineers at defence firm, Lockheed Martin ...
