Deformable mirror using thermal actuators. Route to DIY adaptive optics for hobbyists? Maybe not, but it is an interesting demonstration project!

“We [will be able to] move quickly and map out very large areas of the sky,” adds Josh Schlieder, the telescope’s wide-field ...

Deformable mirrors (DMs) are a key component of adaptive optics systems, allowing for real-time adjustments to correct these distortions. Recent research in this field has focused on optimizing ...

The system is iterative, with wavefront measurements and mirror corrections occurring some 1,000 times a second. Credit: Astronomy: Roen Kelly, after C. Max Deformable mirrors are built with many ...

Upgrade project of the deformable mirror (DM) for AO188 As part of the AO3k project, the DM has been upgraded from a 188-element bimorph mirror to a 3228-actuator magnetic mirror. AO188 provides three ...

In the side pole impact test, it received an ‘OK’ rating. The vehicle also met the requirements for the ESC test, but no remarks were provided about the body shell’s integrity or its ability ...

Whether you’re going for a natural daytime makeup look, applying fiddly false lashes, or attacking the tiniest stray hairs with your tweezers, a lighted makeup mirror can help make sure you step ...

Mirrors of Kalandra drop randomly from enemies you defeat in high-tier maps or at the end of the campaign. They're extremely rare, but you can increase your chances of finding them by wearing ...

Mirror neurons received significant media attention in the 2000s and were painted by some scientists as the key to many of our advanced social abilities. However, many of the more significant ...
