Advances in quantum technology might allow astronomers to circumvent age-old issues that limit the size of optical observatories ...

In optical astronomy, the highest angular resolution is presently offered by phase/amplitude interferometers combining light from telescopes separated by baselines up to a few hundred metres.

The size and weight of advanced astronomical telescopes pose a constant challenge to engineers aiming to launch them into Earth orbit, so any routes to improve matters without compromising on ...

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 ...

When it comes to telescopes, many would argue that bigger is better. During the 20th Century, astronomers and engineers built telescopes with larger and larger apertures, striving to gather more and ...

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 ...

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 ...
