Climate change leading threat to at-risk species in the U.S.
(NASA's Scientific Visualization Studio)
In a landmark shift, a new study has found that climate change is now the most pervasive human-caused threat to imperiled species in the United States, surpassing other long-standing hazards like habitat loss, pollution and invasive species for the first time.

Mars orbiter snaps 1st image of Curiosity rover on the move
(NASA/JPL-Caltech/University of Arizona)
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) just snapped an off-Earth action shot the likes of which we've never seen before. On Feb. 28, MRO's HiRISE (High-Resolution Imaging Science Experiment) camera captured NASA's Curiosity rover making tracks across Mars' huge Gale Crater.

April's new moon will meet Venus and Saturn this weekend
(Starry Night)
The new moon occurs April 27, and a day later Venus and Saturn will make a close approach to each other (known as a conjunction) in the predawn sky. New moon nights are good for skywatchers who want to catch fainter objects or meteors; the fact that the moon isn't out means its light won't overwhelm them; for example one can see the Milky Way from a dark sky site much more easily when the moon is below the horizon, which is the case for the entire night of the new moon.

China's Shenzhou 20 astronauts arrive at Tiangong station
(CCTV)
China's latest astronaut crew has reached its orbital destination. The three-person Shenzhou 20 mission arrived at China's Tiangong space station today (April 24) at 11:49 a.m. EDT (1549 GMT), beginning a six-month stay aboard the outpost. Their off-Earth chase was brief: Shenzhou 20 launched atop a Long March 2F rocket from Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China today at 5:17 a.m. EDT (0917 GMT; 5:17 p.m. Beijing time).

Scientists not sure how Mars got its water
(NASA)
Though Mars, the Red Planet, is a vast and inhospitable land today, scientists think it once resembled our very own Earth - the Blue Planet, if you will. More specifically, experts say Mars once had a warm, wet climate, and their belief is based on striking geological features on the now-barren world, such as vast valley networks likely carved by flowing water. It's unclear where Mars' water could have come from, and most climate models predict the world exhibits surface temperatures that are far too cold to sustain liquid water, raising questions about how those visible geological features could have formed.

Super-Earth exoplanets are more common than we thought
(Robert Lea (created with Canva))
Astronomers have discovered that "super-Earth" planets may exist on wider orbits than previously thought -- and this implies these rocky, or "terrestrial," worlds are far more common than was suspected. Super-Earths, in short, are planets with masses up to 10 times that of our planet, but still less than the masses of gas giant planets.

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 25.04 в 11:30 будет заслушан 1
доклад:
1). Н.А. Иногамов
Аномальное пропускание света оптически толстыми пленками никеля,
являющимися оптоакустическими трансдьюсерами

Технологии, связанные с ультратонкими пленками, имеют важное значение
для микроэлектроники. В этой связи много внимания обращают на
механические и оптические свойства пленок. В настоящей работе
исследованы пленки никеля на подложке из стекла. Обнаружен неожиданный
эффект прозрачности пленок для света с пропусканием 1-10% падающего
излучения. При этом пленки, во-первых, имеют толщину достаточно большую
по отношению к толщине скин-слоя 12-13 нм; поэтому такое пропускание
названо «аномальным». И, во-вторых, сохраняют свои упругие механические
характеристики, которые не отличаются от свойств абсолютно однородных и
с фиксированной толщиной пленок. Соответственно наши пленки действуют
стандартно в качестве акустических резонаторов и в качестве излучателей
акустических волн в подложку (трансдьюсеры). Аномальное пропускание
света объясняется неоднородной структурой пленки. При этом пропускание
света позволяет видеть через пленку бриллюэновские интерференционные
осцилляции, связанные с распространением акустических волн в подложке.
