A state-of-the-art experiment at the US Department of Energy’s (DoE) Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory is one step closer to collecting experimental data. Fermilab has announced that it has ...

A quantum trick based on interferometric measurements allows a team of researchers at LMU to detect even the smallest movements of a laser beam with extreme sensitivity. Precisely measuring minute ...

The only major difference between the sun and the stars we see at night is that the sun happens to be close to us—which is advantageous, assuming you enjoy being alive. Astronomers enjoy this as well ...

Accurately controlling film thickness and uniformity is extremely important for both throughput and performance in the automotive, aerospace, semiconductor, medical, and research industries. White ...

After Christmas dinner in 2021, our family was glued to the television, watching the nail-biting launch of NASA's US$10 billion (AU$15 billion) James Webb Space Telescope. There had not been such a ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made an epic discovery with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Cosmology hasn’t been the same since, and it might not stay that way much longer. Out ...

Imagine this: you’re in the middle of an important project, juggling deadlines, and collaborating with a team scattered across time zones. Suddenly, your computer crashes, and hours of work vanish in ...

A hybrid phase demodulation structure combining a 3 × 3 coupler and Sagnac interferometer is proposed to improve the spatial resolution and phase demodulation performance of the phase-sensitive ...
