The 5.4 km free-space quantum communication link between the University of Ottawa and the National Research Council Canada, where real-time atmospheric turbulence measurements were conducted to train ...

It’s sometimes easy to forget that the light in the sky is an actual star. With how reliable it is and how busy we tend to be as humans, we can take that incredible fact and stow it away and largely ...

Scientists develop new optical system that removes blur over fine-structure in the Sun’s corona, revealing clearest images to date This time-lapse video of a prominence above the solar surface reveals ...

Scientists have produced the finest images of the Sun's corona to date. To make these high-resolution images and movies, the team developed a new 'coronal adaptive optics' system that removes blur ...

The ability to achieve high-resolution optical imaging is essential in a variety of applications including astronomy and microscopy. Light can be perturbed when propagating through optical systems or ...

SANTA CRUZ, CA–Adaptive optics technology can remove the blurring effect of the Earth’s atmosphere that has long plagued astronomers, allowing ground-based telescopes to achieve a clarity of vision ...

New Technology Brings Space Telescope Image Quality Down to Earth, Offering Astronomical Image Clarity Never Seen Before The next generation of adaptive optics has arrived at the Large Binocular ...

The sun's corona—the outermost layer of its atmosphere, visible only during a total solar eclipse—has long intrigued scientists due to its extreme temperatures, violent eruptions, and large ...
