Astronomers are living in a golden age of bigger and better telescopes. But even our most advanced technology pales in ...

Now, scientists have figured out how to make them on purpose with lasers, mirrors and special lenses By Karmela Padavic-Callaghan 2 June 2022 Whirling light can be turned into a doughnut-shape ...

Curved Lens vs. Flat Mirrors There are predominantly two types of telescopes: those that rely on lenses, and the second and more advanced class that depend on mirrors.

Quantum gravity gradient sensor used outdoors to find tunnel “Conventional imaging captures only as much light as the lens aperture can accept, and it necessarily loses directional information since ...

Physics and Python stuff. Most of the videos here are either adapted from class lectures or solving physics problems. I really like to use numerical calculations without all the fancy programming ...

Lenses and mirrors have the wonderful property that light coming in from an ultra-distant source that's perpendicular to the plane of the mirror gets focused in such a way that it reaches your ...

The lenses and mirrors focus sunlight on the solar cell like a magnifying glass. With a gentle nudge, the concentrators move relative to the cells, keeping sunlight in focus all day.

What do we learn about physics in this experiment at ETH Zurich? The two acoustic mirrors on the Hönggerberg campus show on a large scale how experiments with tiny particles work in physics labs. The ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. I write about physics, science, academia, and pop culture. This article is more than 7 years old. When I woke up Sunday ...
