A nanofabricated silicon template holds two independent multilayer Laue lenses with high precision for easy alignment to create a nano-focused X-ray beam. Scientists have developed a new type of lens ...

Increasing demands on the performance of optical systems require tighter mechanical and optical tolerances. Thus, it has become unfeasible – both technologically as well as financially – to manually ...

A new fortuitous alignment has allowed a cluster of galaxies to play a crucial role. Nicknamed the “carousel lens,” this unique gravitational lens reveals not one, but seven distant galaxies.

Scientists have developed a new type of lens that focuses an X-ray beam to nanometer levels. This is a scale smaller than a single virus. The monolithic 2-D multilayer Laue lenses (MLLs) can focus an ...

"RF lenses are better," said Go Tokura, head of Canon's Imaging Group: "they are adjusted digitally, giving more consistent results." Recent Videos These words tumbled around my head as the Tohoku ...
