Happy Friday space fans!
We made it to the end of the week and looking ahead, Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket aims to launch NASA's much anticipated ESCAPADE mission to Mars this Sunday (Nov. 9) in the afternoon ET. We'll continue to post updates on our website as this story unfolds, so stay tuned. 

Other headlines for today include Lego releasing their first 'Star Trek' kit, China reaching out to NASA to avoid a satellite collision in space and the U.S. military launching an unarmed missile from Vandenberg Space Force Base.  

It's also Friday so as we head into the weekend we have your weekly staff recommendations of "what we're reading/playing/watching." You'll find those suggestions from our team at the bottom of your newsletter. 

Thanks for exploring with us. 
Keep looking up,

Editor's Note
 
What we're reading/playing/watching

Whether you're looking to unwind with a mind-bending sci-fi series or lose yourself in a video game during the coming weekend, we've got you covered. Here's what the Space.com team is enjoying at the moment: 

Anthony Wood, Skywatching Writer: "I tripped and fell and now I'm starting Skyrim again from the beginning." 

Brett Tingley, Managing Editor: "I'm playing Mars First Logistics, a wonderful game about building vehicles to haul cargo around Mars bases. Who said physics-based spacecraft-building games have to be frustratingly difficult and complex? (Looking at you, Kerbal.)" 

Kenna Hughes-Castleberry, Content Manager: "I'm currently reading 'Ghosts of Eden Park' all about bootleggers during the Prohibition era. It's quite good and incredibly well-researched!"

Уважаемые коллеги!

На заседании Ученого совета ИТФ в пятницу 07.11 будет заслушан доклад:

11:30

А.В. Щепетильников (ИФТТ им. Ю.А. Осипьяна РАН)
Фазовые переходы в режиме квантового эффекта Холла

В больших магнитных полях и при низких температурах в двумерных
электронных системах наблюдается серия фазовых переходов,
сопровождающихся кардинальной перестройкой основного состояния системы.
При этом, как правило, в разных фазах система имеет принципиально разное
упорядочение по одному или нескольким степеням свободы электронов. Одним
из примеров таких переходов является макроскопическая модификация
спиновой поляризации, которая наблюдается вблизи как целочисленных, так
и дробных состояний квантового эффекта Холла. Помимо спиновой, электроны
в низкоразмерных полупроводниковых структурах могут обладать и другими
степенями свободы, например, долинной. В этом случае соответствующие
фазовые переходы сопровождаются крупномасштабным перераспределением
электронов между разными эквивалентными долинами.

В рамках нашей работы такие фазовые переходы - как спиновые, так и
долинные - были изучены посредством методики электронного спинового
резонанса. Анализ интенсивности и ширины спиновых резонансов позволил
идентифицировать такие переходы, а также отследить эволюцию спиновой и
долинной поляризации системы при приложении к системе внешнего
механического напряжения, параллельного магнитного поля, а также при
изменении температуры образца.
