The endeavor to detect life on exoplanets is presently constrained by the limitations and logistical complexities inherent in building larger, more sensitive mirror-based space telescopes. A novel ...

Researchers are designing new ways to make spectrometers that are ultra-small but still very powerful, to be used for anything from detecting disease to observing stars in distant galaxies.

Spectrometer optics involves measuring light intensity by means of a specialized analytical tool called a spectrometer which separates light by wavelength. Spectrometers are used for a variety of ...

Steve Vogt with the Automated Planet Finder Telescope at Lick Observatory, Mt. Hamilton CA. A $600,000 gift from the Gloria and Kenneth Levy Foundation will help fund an integral part of the Automated ...

Kitt Peak National Observatory is the future home of a state-of-the-art instrument that will be used to detect and characterize other worlds. The new instrument, an extreme precision radial velocity ...

The Schmidts' philanthropic research organization will build a 3-meter space telescope and fund three ground-based facilities.

This simulation shows a top-down view of how different light patterns in red and green are generated when fed with input from a waveguide on the left. Spectrometers are technology for reading light ...
