NASA Moves Closer to Ultrastable Telescope
Researchers at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center have shown that they can dynamically detect subatomic distortions across a 5-ft segmented telescope mirror in their mission of building an ultrastable telescope that locates and images dozens of Earth-like planets beyond the solar system and then scrutinizes their atmospheres for signs of life.

LED-Based Headlight Meets Safety Requirements, Saves Energy
Researchers have designed an LED-based train headlight that uses one-tenth of the energy required for headlights that use conventional light sources. If operated eight hours every day, the electricity savings of the new design could reduce emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide by about 152 kg per year.

Multiple Resonators Can Improve Signal Transmission
Scientists have developed a light wave isolation method for efficient signal transmission that is less costly and more versatile than using a single resonator to induce light waves to travel in just one direction. The new approach does not require an external magnetic field or any other form of external bias for reliable wave transmission, yet it provides highly efficient broad bandwidth isolation.
