The Event Horizon Telescope has accomplished what no other telescope or telescope array has ever done: imaged the event horizon of a black hole directly. A team of more than 200 scientists using data ...

The concept of measuring surface roughness originated nearly a century ago as a means to prevent uncertainty and disputes between manufacturers and buyers. Now, it has become a common identifier used ...

White light interferometry (WLI) is a contact-free optical method for measuring surface height. It uses the phase difference between the light reflected off a reference mirror and the target sample to ...

A team of scientists has managed to successfully perform atom interferometry in space - on board a sounding rocket. Extremely precise measurements are possible using atom interferometers that employ ...
