In a rare and extraordinary discovery, researchers have identified a unique configuration of galaxies that form the most exquisitely aligned gravitational lens found to date. The Carousel Lens is a ...

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.

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 ...

Full baffle and lens alignment assembly, designed to minimize stray light, mass, and size, and maximize optical performance. Sandia National Laboratories sponsored a project to create a new design for ...
