Scientists Create Laser “Whirlpools” That Spin Tiny Cells Without Touching Them

Researchers have developed a new laser-based method that can rotate microscopic samples in all three spatial directions without touching them. Until now, rotating extremely delicate microscopic samples in every direction without touching them has been a major technical challenge. Researchers at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have now created a laser-based method that can [...]

The Roman Space Telescope is Ahead of Schedule, and the Hubble is Giving it a Jump Start

One of the core community surveys of NASA’s Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, the Galactic Bulge Time-Domain Survey, is expected to locate over a thousand exoplanets that orbit far away from their stars, beyond the orbital distance of Earth from the Sun. Although Roman hasn’t launched yet, astronomers already are gathering useful supporting data by utilizing NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, which could assist astronomers in analyzing Roman data.
