Although we already know dozens of exoplanets without their own star, their masses could only be estimated. Now a precise ...

Microlenses are tiny optical devices used to focus light onto cameras and fiber optics. While debugging a different project, I stumbled on a technique that made hemispherical depressions. So I made ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a process that combines continuous laser direct writing and mask techniques to fabricate micro/nanoscale array microlenses on K9 glass. Initially, a zirconia ceramic ...

In today's fast-changing technological landscape, two key theories determine the future of semiconductor design: Moore's Law and the More-than-Moore approach. While Moore's Law focuses on increasing ...

For years, scientists have been fascinated by the way octopuses move — fluid, flexible and without the limitations of bones. But observing these complex motions in the extreme conditions of the deep ...

A project at Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems (Fraunhofer IMWS) has developed a new technique to modify the surfaces of eyeglass lenses as a treatment for ...

In this zoomed-in detail of the Hubble image of Abell 370, the host galaxy where the 44 stars were discovered appears several times: in a normal image (left), and a distorted image appearing as a ...
