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.

Job description The Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS) operates neutron scattering instruments at world leading sources in Garching, Grenoble and Oak Ridge, make them accessible to external users, and uses them for its own research on magnetism and soft matter. Furthermore, the JCNS is a major contributor to the European Spallation Source (ESS) that is currently built in Lund. In the Scientific Computing Group of JCNS at the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) in Garching we develop software for the analysis of scattering experiments, and support Instrument users. In close collaboration with the Data Management and Software Center of the ESS in Copenhagen, we will also develop software for reflectometers and quasielastic spectrometers of the ESS. Through this German in-kind contribution to the ESS, we currently have an opening for a scientist to work with us on research software development. We are looking to recruit as soon as possible a Research Software Engineer Your Job: Develop open-source software to reduce, visualize, model and fit experimental data Lead the development of software used at specific diffractometers or spectrometers Cooperate with instrument scientists to improve data-anaysis procedures Participate in exemplary studies from experiment through analysis to publication Desired skills and experience Your Profile: PhD in physics or a related subject Communicative personality with broad interests Good command of spoken and written English Track record in software development, equivalent to at least one year full-time dedication Sound knowledge of C++ under Unix/Linux Experience with any of the following would be a plus: Python, Qt, CMake, git, LaTeX, test-driven development, cross-platform development, numerical mathematics, condensed-matter physics, scattering, spectroscopy, crystallography, documentation, web publishing Our Offer: A comprehensive further training programme, including English language courses Flexible working hours and various opportunities to reconcile work and family life Limited for 3 years with possible longer-term prospects Full-time position with the option of slightly reduced working hours Salary and social benefits in conformity with the provisions of the Collective Agreement for the Civil Service (TVöD). Place of employment: Garching (Munich) Forschungszentrum Jülich aims to employ more women in this area and therefore particularly welcomes applications from women. We also welcome applications from disabled persons. We look forward to receiving your application, preferably via the "Go to application page" button, quoting the reference number 2017-212.
