NASA’s Artemis II mission is only the tip of the space agency’s lunar-exploration spear: planning for a plethora of ...

Quantum mechanics tells us that a particle can never be perfectly still. But how precisely can it be oriented? A research ...

Researchers cool a levitated silica nanorotor to its librational quantum ground state in two rotational degrees of freedom ...

The team achieved a global first by reaching quantum ground state of rotation in a silica nanorotor reaching fundamental ...

Abstract: This paper demonstrates a highly sensitive digital readout method for angular displacement measurement using a two-dimensional transmission diffraction grating and a smartphone CMOS camera.

In optical interferometry, waves of a light signal travel to separate light collectors, and the interference pattern formed by superimposing the waves reveals spatial information about the light ...

Achieving both high sensitivity and a wide dynamic range remains a central challenge in microelectromechanical accelerometers. This study presents a newly engineered nonlinear stiffness-softening ...

Optical Surfaces Ltd has received an order from Armstrong Optical, a leading UK supplier of optical metrology instruments, to supply high specification transmission and reference flats for a custom ...
