I'm a Nuclear Engineer with 10+ years of experience in nuclear power — from engineering ⚙️, operations ⚡, maintenance 🔧, ...

The primary challenge in satellite laser downlinks is atmospheric turbulence, which distorts and weakens signals.

The light from this space laser traveled a whopping 36 thousand ... using the South African Radio Astronomy Observatory's MeerKAT telescope. (MeerKAT is shorthand for Karoo Array Telescope ...

To reach Earth’s closest star system, Alpha Centauri, scientists are building a laser-powered spacecraft. To pull off ...

Detecting fine details at a distance can be difficult—even under ideal weather. Telescopes and laser beams must be carefully aligned. Atmospheric turbulence can distort the light, interfering ...

I've tested and reviewed several star projectors and the Hommkiety Galaxy Projector has left me stunned by how good it is, ...

Scientists have developed a laser-based device that can read letters from over a kilometer away. The device, which is so precise it can even read letters that are millimeters wide, could be used as a ...

This setup included two telescopes and an infrared laser system on a shared optical bench. The laser system produced thermal illumination, and reconstructed sparse, noisy data being collected into ...

UC Berkeley astronomers found a hidden black hole roaming far from the galaxy’s core. It may eventually merge with the ...

Chinese scientists have just achieved a milestone by transmitting data from space to Earth. In this way, they have managed to transmit data with a laser of only 2 watts of power at ...
