Researchers have developed a spectrometer capable of applications ranging from disease detection to astronomical observations. Spectrometers have been around for centuries, but this is a game-changer.

Researchers are designing new ways to make spectrometers that are ultra-small but still very powerful, to be used for anything from detecting disease to observing stars in distant galaxies.

The Schmidts' philanthropic research organization will build a 3-meter space telescope and fund three ground-based facilities.

Kitt Peak National Observatory is the future home of a state-of-the-art instrument that will be used to detect and characterize other worlds. The new instrument, an extreme precision radial velocity ...
