Dear Colleague, We are pleased to announce and cordially invite you to the next 14th Russia/CIS/Baltic/Japan Symposium on Ferroelectricity (RCBJSF-2018) website: www.rcbjsf2018.ru, which will be held on May 14 - 18, 2018 at Ioffe Institute, St. Petersburg, Russia. Looking forward to see you in St. Petersburg, Sincerely, Organizing Committee

https://nplus1.ru/news/2017/11/13/skyrmion-imaging » Группа физиков впервые экспериментально получила скирмионы-мишени, устойчивые даже при отсутствии внешнего магнитного поля. В статье, опубликованной в Physical Review Letters, ученые показали, что у таких скирмионов есть два устойчивых состояния, переключаться между которыми можно как раз с помощью магнитного поля.

2017 Oliver E. Buckley Condensed Matter Physics Prize Recipient "For theories of topological order and its consequences in a broad range of physical systems." Background: Alexei Kitaev, Ph.D., graduated from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Russia) in 1986 having worked with quasicrystals. He did his doctoral studies at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics (Chernogolovka, Russia) under the supervision of Valery Pokrovsky, Ph.D., receiving his Ph.D. in 1989. Dr. Kitaev is currently the Ronald and Maxine Linde Professor of Theoretical Physics and Mathematics at the California Institute of Technology (Pasadena). Dr. Kitaev is the recipient of the 2008 MacArthur “Genius” Award, the 2012 Fundamental Physics Prize, and the 2015 Dirac Medal. Dr. Kitaev’s most cited work was the idea of topological quantum computation, namely, that quantum information can be protected from errors by encoding it in a many-body system with nontrivial topological properties. The original scheme was based on anyons, but later Dr. Kitaev proposed the use of Majorana modes. He devised and studied a few exactly solvable quantum models, including the Majorana chain and a system of spins on the honeycomb lattice. He also proposed the mathematical classification of topological insulators and superconductors using Bott periodicity. Dr. Kitaev is currently working on another model of interacting fermions, which exhibits emergent behavior similar to quantum gravity. Selection Committee: 2017 Selection Committee Members: Catherine Kallin (Chair), Eva Andrei (Vice-Chair), Clare Yu, Charles Kane (2012 Recipient), William Halperin

http://www.ligo.org/detections/GW170817.php » On October 16, 2017, the the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, Virgo Collaboration, and its partners announced the first observation of gravitational-waves from a pair of inspiraling neutron stars. Electromagnetic emission from the resulting collision was also observed in multiple wavelength bands. This occured on August 17, 2017 and represents the first time a cosmic event was observed with both gravitational waves and light. » On Aug. 17, 2017, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) and Virgo detected, for the first time, gravitational waves from the collision of two neutron stars. The event was not only “heard” in gravitational waves but also seen in light by dozens of telescopes on the ground and in space. Learn more about what this rare astronomy event taught us in a new video from LIGO and Virgo. (Credit: LIGO-Virgo)

Сходил на одну из институтских помоек, теперь у меня есть немножко механики от фотокамеры электронного микроскопа и стол.
