The CTAO will change how we study the Universe at high energies, and it has now become a European Research Infrastructure Consortium (ERIC)! The creation of the CTAO ERIC will enable the Observatory's construction to advance rapidly and provide a framework for distributing its data worldwide, significantly accelerating its progress toward scientific discovery. As a member of CTAO and host of its future southern site, we couldn't be more excited. Read more: https://lnkd.in/edaNZtsH   How does the CTAO work and what kind of phenomena will it study?

From September 4th to 6th, I attended the XXXIX Symposium of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI - España) at the University of Castilla-La Mancha, where I presented our work titled “Insertion of Corrugations in Microwave Filters for Multipactor Reduction.” The multipactor effect is a critical issue in high-power RF and microwave devices, such as combline filters, leading to signal degradation and performance loss. This study proposes using a corrugated surface profile to mitigate the effect. Numerical simulations show that corrugations effectively disrupt the conditions for electron avalanches, raising the power breakdown threshold and reducing multipactor discharges. The research also examines how different geometric parameters of the corrugations influence suppression, offering insights for optimal design. These findings provide guidance to develop reliable filters for space applications and advance multipactor suppression techniques in high-power RF applications. I am grateful that I was given the opportunity to attend and present at the URSI conference, as it has been an inspiring experience. I enjoy the learning process that comes with these events and the opportunity to expand my knowledge while connecting with professionals from across Spain who share research interests. Engaging with experts, exchanging ideas, and discussing insights is very motivating and enhances my passion for my work, making the entire experience even more rewarding.

⚠️ NEW PAPER ALERT!!! ⚠️ Chiral symmetry is one of the fundamental symmetries in nature, alongside time-reversal and spatial inversion, but it is the most intricate and challenging to measure. Wondering how to detect it in a crystalline material? Newton's new paper by Artem Odobesko and colleagues presents an experimental study using high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy. It demonstrates that step edges in topological crystalline insulator Pb1-xsSnxSe exhibit broken translation symmetry. These nanoscale features can then be used to sense chiral symmetry breaking, with their signatures revealed as spectral imbalances in Landau levels.

Particle surface properties and their understanding - a trend also among young scientists Three candidates nominated for the #LUM Science Prize YSA in June 2024   On June 10th and 11th, 2024, LUM GmbH will be hosting the 11th International Conference on Dispersion Analysis and Material Testing (#ICDAMT2024) in Berlin. Prof. Dr. Dr. Lerche, Chairman of the Scientific Committee: Since 2014, we have been advertising the Young Scientist Award (YSA) for outstanding scientific achievements in the areas of particle and dispersion characterization as well as materials testing and awarding it at the conference according to defined quality criteria. Young scientists from Germany, France, India, Norway and the Czech Republic answered the call and applied for the prize. Three finalists from Europe and India were ultimately nominated by the jury for 2024. They will attend the conference with their interesting results upon invitation. Completely independent of the selection procedure, the overarching theme of particle surface properties and their characterization is excitingly visible in all nominated applications, a trend that we are increasingly encountering in our own scientific work and with our customers. #youngscientists #particlesurface #characterization READ MORE ON https://lnkd.in/dBYjcv6v
