A nanofabricated silicon template holds two independent multilayer Laue lenses with high precision for easy alignment to create a nano-focused X-ray beam. Scientists have developed a new type of lens ...

Scientists have developed a new type of lens that focuses an X-ray beam to nanometer levels. This is a scale smaller than a single virus. The monolithic 2-D multilayer Laue lenses (MLLs) can focus an ...

A new fortuitous alignment has allowed a cluster of galaxies to play a crucial role. Nicknamed the “carousel lens,” this unique gravitational lens reveals not one, but seven distant galaxies.

Full baffle and lens alignment assembly, designed to minimize stray light, mass, and size, and maximize optical performance. Sandia National Laboratories sponsored a project to create a new design for ...

San Diego, CA – PI will demonstrate the world’s fastest photonics alignment engines and fiber optic alignment algorithms. Leveraging a combination of precision mechanics, advanced motion controllers, ...

Gravitational lensing, predicted by Einstein's theory of relativity, involves the bending of light from a distant object (e.g., a quasar) by a closer, massive object (e.g., a galaxy), acting as a lens ...
