Giant Magellan Telescope Mount Fabrication Begins

Manufacturing and assembly of the largest telescope mount built in the United States has begun. In partnership with Ingersoll Machine Tools and OHB Digital Connect, fabrication of the 39-meter-tall precision moving structure is taking place across multiple states over the next six years. When complete, the mount will be shipped to the Giant Magellan Telescope […]

Solar energy breakthrough could reduce need for solar farms

Scientists at Oxford University have developed a groundbreaking approach to generating solar electricity without silicon-based panels. Their innovation involves coating a new, ultra-thin, and flexible light-absorbing material onto everyday objects like rucksacks, cars, and mobile phones. This material uses a multi-junction technique to stack multiple light-absorbing layers into one solar cell, capturing a broader spectrum […]
