Chinese scientists develop fingernail-sized chip that can map 5,600 stars in seconds
SMRTR summary
Chinese researchers at Tsinghua University created a fingernail-sized optical chip called Yuheng that analyzes starlight with 100 times sharper resolution than conventional cameras, capturing 88 frames per second. The breakthrough chip mapped 5,600 stars in a single snapshot, potentially reducing Milky Way mapping from millennia to under a decade.
