NASA's 1st female chief engineer eyes lunar space station

(NASA)

Teresa Kinney, NASA's first female chief engineer at the agency's Kennedy Space Center (KSC), is one of the managers working to put the Gateway lunar space station together in orbit around the moon later in the 2020s. Gateway will support Artemis program landing missions on the moon in the next decade or so, but like the International Space Station, it needs to be built first.

Still alive! SLIM moon lander survives 2nd lunar night

(JAXA)

SLIM's not dead yet. The SLIM spacecraft, Japan's first-ever successful moon lander, has survived the long, cold lunar night for the second time. Mission team members announced the news via X on Wednesday (March 27), in a post that also featured a photo newly snapped by the lander's navigation camera.

Final launch of Delta IV Heavy rocket delayed

(ULA)

The Delta IV Heavy was supposed to launch for the final time yesterday (March 28), sending a U.S. spy satellite skyward from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station in Florida. But the attempt was scrubbed with just under four minutes left in the countdown "due to an issue with the gaseous nitrogen pipeline which provides pneumatic pressure to the launch vehicle systems," ULA wrote in an update.

Stardust locked in meteorite holds secrets of a star's death

(X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO; Optical: NASA/ESA/STScI; IR: NASA/ESA/CSA/STScI/Milisavljevic et al., NASA/JPL/CalTech; Image Processing: NASA/CXC/SAO/J. Schmidt and K. Arcand)

Scientists have discovered a rare stardust particle that came from the explosive supernova death of a distant star. This speck, it seems, is locked within an ancient meteorite. The grain of dust, though small, can help tell a story of stellar life, death and rebirth that spans almost the entire 13.8 billion-year history of the cosmos. It could also allow scientists to unlock the secrets of a recently discovered type of star that dies in a unique supernova explosion.

SpaceX to launch 22 Starlink satellites from California

(SpaceX)

SpaceX has reset the launch of another batch of its Starlink internet satellites to no sooner than Friday evening (March 29). When the launch occurs, you can watch it live via SpaceX's account on X. Coverage will begin about five minutes before the liftoff.

Boeing files lawsuit against Virgin Galactic

(Jonathan Daniel/Getty Images)

Boeing and its subsidiary Aurora Flight Sciences are suing Virgin Galactic over unpaid work and the misappropriation of trade secrets. The suit alleges that Virgin Galactic has not paid $26.4 million in invoices for work related to the development of a new "mothership" aircraft intended to power Virgin's next-generation suborbital space planes.

Life as we know it could exist on Venus, experiment reveals

(JAXA/J. J. Petkowski)

If Venus hosts lifeforms in its toxic clouds, they likely won't be deprived of amino acids, one of the essential building blocks of life (as we know it). At least, that's what scientists say is the result of a new lab experiment.

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 29 марта в 11:30 состоится
коллоквиум:

Вадим Ковалев (ИФП им. А.В. Ржанова СО РАН)
*Фотовольтаический эффект Холла в 2D сверхпроводниках со встроенным
сверхтоком*

Доклад посвящен исследованию возможности существования в двумерных
сверхпроводниках фотовольтаического эффекта Холла (ФЭX), заключающегося
в возникновении поперечного отклика двумерного сверхпроводника под
действием внешнего циркулярно-поляризованного электромагнитного
излучения. ФЭX имеет развитую теорию для случая полупроводниковых
двумерных систем [1], где показано, что ФЭX описывается
феноменологическим выражением вида J = a_40 i[F х [E_00 [E^* x _04 ]],
где F – постоянное в плоскости 2D полупроводника электрическое поле,
E_40 – амплитуда электрического поля циркулярно-поляризованной
электромагнитной волны. В работе [1] предполагалось, что частота ЭМ
излучения меньше ширины запрещенной зоны полупроводника.
В случае 2D сверхпроводника, эффект ожидается при наличии в
сверхпроводнике встроенного постоянного сверхтока. Мы построили теорию
ФЭX эффекта i) когда частота внешнего ЭМ излучения меньше величины
сверхпроводящей щели при данной температуре и ii) при нулевой
температуре, когда частота ЭМ излучения превышает удвоенное значение
сверхпроводящей щели.
