3Dプリンターで安価な望遠鏡が作れますという話。
大学というが、3Dプリンターの宣伝みたいな感じだ。
3Dプリンターでナンデモ作れる・・・しかも、安価で。
BBCより。

A university has shown the first photographs taken by a £100 telescope built from parts made by a 3D printer.
The University of Sheffield researchers behind the project claim the image quality from the PiKon telescope compares to models costing 10 times as much.
Plans are available online allowing anyone to download and print the components needed to build the device.
The telescope’s images were unveiled as part of a science festival in the city.
It captured numerous pictures of the moon’s surface during its first use.
One of the Pikon’s developers, physicist Mark Wrigley, said he hoped the new telescope would be a “game changer”.
‘Democratising technology’
“We hope that one day this will be seen on a par with the famous Dobsonian ‘pavement’ telescopes, which allowed hobbyists to see into the night skies for the first time,” he said.
“This is all about democratising technology, making it cheap and readily available to the general public.”・・・
