SAN JOSE, Calif., Oct. 13, 2009 – I should know better. Watching movies or TV shows I revered as a child can only end badly. As with so many things in life, the reality can never equal the paramnesia built of fading memories and unattainable ideals. And yet I revisit old favorites time and again, always expectant and always devastated by the discovery of yet another piece of junk. I’ve asked my friends, and I beg of you, if I ever start talking about buying a bootleg copy of “Tales of the Gold Monkey” – the 1983 series starring Stephen Collins as a cargo plane pilot who, with his one-eyed Jack Russell terrier, gets...Read full article

    adaptive optics
    Adaptive optics (AO) is a technology used to improve the performance of optical systems by reducing the effects of atmospheric distortions. The Earth's atmosphere can cause light passing through it to experience distortions, resulting in image blurring and degradation in various optical applications, such as astronomical observations, laser communications, and imaging systems. Adaptive optics systems actively adjust the optical elements in real-time to compensate for these distortions. Key...
    astronomy
    The scientific observation of celestial radiation that has reached the vicinity of Earth, and the interpretation of these observations to determine the characteristics of the extraterrestrial bodies and phenomena that have emitted the radiation.
    photonics
    The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
