Another important development is a customized diffraction grating said to have an efficiency of more than 95 per cent as well as excellent thermal performance. Friedrich Möller from the Jena group ...

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has determined that a discovery that could be likened to a cosmic crime scene isn’t what astronomers thought: rather than pointing to a star that swelled up ...

The team needed a new approach. So the researchers custom-built a diffraction grating array -- a square of silicon about the size of a pencil eraser's head and scored with tiny lines. These lines ...

Meta-grating with a fourfold increase in efficiency At Hannover Messe, which begins Monday, March 31, Meretska and her team will present an optical diffraction meta-grating that was made using ...

Last week, astronomers unveiled exciting new images of planets in the HR 8799 and 51 Eridani star systems — and it was all thanks to a creative use of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).

Astronomers have discovered the most distant and thus earliest spiral galaxy ever seen, using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). This "twin" of the Milky Way existed just 1 billion years after ...

The image of Zhúlóng shows its spiral arms, an old central bulge and a large star-forming disc, which resembles the Milky Way. (Image Credit: © NASA/CSA/ESA, M ...

The discovery was made using data from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and offers important insights into how galaxies can form and evolve so rapidly in the early Universe. An international ...

As such, scientists recently turned the James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) powerful gaze towards 2024 YR4, capturing the object in both visible and thermal light. The team measured the asteroid ...
