UNSW engineers have determined GPS could be made pin-point accurate thanks to a certain type of laser beam. Professor Robert Malaney's team, including Ronakraj Gosalia, say 'frequency comb' beams, combined with exotic quantum properties, could even help detect ripples in space-time or assist the search for dark matter.

● The telescope was created by Johns Hopkins University and launched on July 1. The purpose of this research is to achieve the maximum magnification under the smallest effective aperture while ensuring the luminous flux and resolution angle of the telescope. ● The telescope attempts to use nano-engraving technology, nano-array technology, mesoporous mounting technology, film inlay technology, and nano-optical materials for the first time to make the lens flatness error reach 10nm. The luminous flux reaches 30 times that of ordinary telescopes with the same aperture. ● The resolution angle is 47 times that of an ordinary telescope with the same aperture. The maximum magnification reaches 300 times. This is the first spotting telescope that achieves this magnification and clarity on such a small scale Link to buy https://lnkd.in/dSP4uJ8B Shopenzer Shopenzer, Inc.

Condor refers to an array of six refracting telescopes that measure 180 millimeters in diameter. Each component has a motorized filter wheel, a large-format CMOS camera, and a focal-reducing field corrector. This array telescope is optimized for detecting both point sources and extended low-surface-brightness features. It is also capable of imaging regions of the sky at a very rapid cadence of 60 seconds or less. https://lnkd.in/gdfatkS8

This entire article can be thrown out. #UFOs/#UAPs do not use #warpdrive. A different CTP process 'workaround' is referred to as 'C-energy Frequency Modulation' (CeFM) is utilized for FTL travel. Please comb through Post history. "This is a fun thought experiment. It's possible that some type of workaround to FTL travel will exist one day in the distant future. If it does, it may be related to a better understanding of dark matter and dark energy. If any ETIs exist, they may be in a position to exploit fundamental knowledge of the universe that we don't yet possess." We can achieve this in 10 years. (https://bit.ly/3HZBdYu) CTPSci Sciences currently possesses this knowledge - today.

🌍 Dreaming of high-res views of Earth? A PIC-powered device is the answer! The global picture doesn’t get much bigger than Earth observation #SatelliteImagery. Especially as weather conditions become more antagonistic to orthodox methods, new #SatelliteTechnology is crucial for detailed imaging. To that end, we are very proud of our work on the development of the first-ever photonic-assisted receiver module for scan-on-receive #SCORE synthetic aperture radar #SAR, a milestone for the SPACEBEAM Project. Soon, weather conditions and time constraints won't hinder Earth observation from Space, all thanks to #IntegratedPhotonics. 🛰️ 🔴This #photonic device delivers unparalleled #beamsteering precision, handling signals from a 12-element antenna array and synthesizing multiple beams simultaneously, all while consuming just three and a half watts! ➡️How it was designed is a perfect example of the vertically-integrated solutions development done at LioniX. Taking a satellite imaging technique and implementing it on hybrid PIC device the size of a euro coin 🪙 using both TriPleX® silicon nitride and indium phosphide, is about as complicated as it sounds. Unless you have Ahmad Mohammad explaining it to you, then it’s as easy as a Sunday morning. Read his explainer blog article here: https://lnkd.in/eQ_cXerQ

The future of detecting gravitational waves: A three minute guide. "Observatories, experiments and techniques are being developed to spot ripples in space-time at frequencies that are currently undetectable. The main detectors, #LIGO and #Virgo, look for gravitational waves by detecting small differences in travel time for lasers fired along perpendicular arms, each a few kilometres long. But they can only find gravitational waves in a narrow range of frequencies, so physicists are also exploring entirely different techniques. These strategies, which range from watching #pulsars to measuring #quantum fluctuations, hope to catch a much wider variety of gravitational waves, with frequencies in the megahertz to nanohertz range. #Physics #Astrophysics #GravitationalWaves #Quantum #QuantumOptics #lasers #sensing #space #time

📃Scientific paper: A 25-micron single photon sensitive kinetic inductance detector Abstract: We report measurements characterizing the performance of a kinetic inductance detector array designed for a wavelength of 25 microns and very low optical background level suitable for applications such as a far-infrared instrument on a cryogenically cooled space telescope. In a pulse counting mode of operation at low optical flux, the detectors can resolve individual 25-micron photons. In an integrating mode, the detectors remain photon noise limited over more than six orders of magnitude in absorbed power from 70 zW to 200 fW, with a limiting NEP of 4.6 x 10^-20 W/rtHz at 1 Hz. In addition, the detectors are highly stable with flat power spectra under optical load down to 1 mHz. Operational parameters of the detector are determined including the efficiency of conversion of the incident optical power into quasiparticles in the aluminum absorbing element and the quasiparticle self-recombination constant. ;Comment: 35 pages, 18 figures Continued on ES/IODE ➡️ https://etcse.fr/kYwFW ------- If you find this interesting, feel free to follow, comment and share. We need your help to enhance our visibility, so that our platform continues to serve you.

The Canadarm2 robotic arm removes Materials ISS Experiment (MISSE) science carriers from the Kibo laboratory module's airlock. The MISSE Flight Facility mounted outside the International Space Station allows researchers to test the performance and durability of materials and devices. This is done by exposing items of interest to everything that makes the space environment harsh, including radiation, highly reactive atomic oxygen, microgravity, and extreme temperatures.
