NASA cuts 2 from next SpaceX flight to make room for astronauts stuck at space station
This photo provided by SpaceX shows, from left, Russian Aleksandr Gorbunov, and NASA’s Nick Hague, Zena Cardman and Stephanie Wilson at SpaceX headquarters in Hawthorne, Calif., on May 6, 2024.…
Biodiversity loss: Many students of environment-related subjects are partly unaware of the causes
If invasive species—such as the lionfish in the Atlantic—are not a major problem in the respondents’ countries, the respondents tended to underestimate their significance for biodiversity loss. Credit: Matthias Kleespies/Goethe-Universität…
Non-Hermitian skin effect in all dimensions tied to point-gap topology
On the left, typical energy spectra for 1D non-Hermitian systems under periodic or open boundary conditions appear as loops (blue) with spectral windings and arcs (red). On the right, energy…
