Advancing Astronomy: Using Laser Guided Star Adaptive Optics to Obtain clearer celestial views

It is reported that researchers from Beijing University of Chemical Technology and BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd. have collaborated to develop a transparent organic-inorganic composite optical adhesive material with highly tunable refractive index. The related research paper was recently published in Engineering.In the early days, glass was the main raw material for optical components. In recent y...

In most cases, devices that are part of so-called smart homes have become a part of our lives. These appliances have a significant impact on our comfort level and contribute to daily household chores, such as cleaning. There are many products in the market that have paved the way in this regard, but the amount we usually have to pay for them effectively prevents us from purchasing.Of course, we ca...

Around the poles, ice accumulated over millions of years can reach depths of several kilometers. The undisturbed deep ice preserves information about the past. The air bags and particles trapped in the ice tell scientists what the atmosphere used to be like. This has aroused great interest among paleoclimatologists in glacier ice cores.By regularly sampling the ice core at its depth, they can reco...
