Detailed images from Hubble's Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS) reveal an infant galaxy, dubbed A1689-zD1, undergoing a firestorm of star birth as it comes out of the dark ages, a time shortly after the Big Bang, but before the first stars completed the reheating of the cold, dark Universe.
On a perfect New Mexico winter day - with the sky almost 10 percent brighter than usual - Sandia National Laboratories and Stirling Energy Systems (SES) set a new solar-to-grid system conversion efficiency record by achieving a 31.25 percent net efficiency rate.
OSRAM has granted a license, in return for an appropriate fee, to PerkinElmer Inc., the American supplier of precision and photonic components, that allows it to manufacture and market white LEDs with conversion technology. The patent for this technology is held by the OSRAM subsidiary OSRAM Opto Semiconductors.
NeoPhotonics today announced the release of fully athermal and fully passive Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) MUX/DMUX modules with a 50 GHz channel spacing. These devices have up to 44 channels and incorporate the same, patented stabilization and Photonic Integration Circuit (PIC) technology as the company’s extensive line of 100GHz channel spacing athermal AWGs, which have been shipping in volume to customers around the world since 2004.
LOT are offering 15% off the the list price on all 75W-150W Arc Source System orders placed until 29th February 2008.
OmniVision Technologies, Inc., the world's largest supplier of CMOS image sensors, today claimed a mobile handset industry first with the introduction of the OV3642, a 1/4-inch, 3 megapixel CameraChip(TM) sensor with TrueFocus(TM) technology embedded on-chip.
Taking advantage of the presence of light echoes, a team of astronomers have used an ESO telescope to measure, at the 1% precision level, the distance of a Cepheid - a class of variable stars that constitutes one of the first steps in the cosmic distance ladder.
Scientists hope that a new supercomputer being built by Syracuse University's Department of Physics may help them identify the sound of a celestial black hole.
ESA's test centre is buzzing with activity and anticipation as it welcomes its latest guest. The gigantic telescope of ESA's space-based infrared observatory, Herschel, is being prepared to be assembled with its spacecraft in the next few weeks.
NASA's Deep Impact spacecraft is aiming its largest telescope at five stars in a search for alien (exosolar) planets as it enters its extended mission, called EPOXI. Deep Impact made history when the mission team directed an impactor from the spacecraft into comet Tempel 1 on July 4, 2005. NASA recently extended the mission, redirecting the spacecraft for a flyby of comet Hartley 2 on Oct. 11, 2010.
