    A new imaging technique able to make movies of light moving!!! There is a trick, of course, but is a rather clever one and does not preclude innovative applications .....

Introducing the latest quasicrystal - physicsworld.com - 2 views

  •  
    A new quasicrystal formation has been discovered using computer simulations. The formation consists of hard triangular bipyramids, each composed of two regular tetrahedra sharing a single face, and is described in a paper in Physical Review Letters by Sharon Glotzer and colleagues at the University of Michigan in the US. Great for Luis coming paper .....

Black Holes play drums - 8 views

  •  
    Another great presentation at this conference!! Plus I always wanted to enter the numerical computations of orbit around black holes.... with Luzi we had a project on formation flying around black holes .... revolutionary idea (of course we did not do it!!!)
  •  
    I agree Marek, yet was it practical for Apollonio to study conic sections more than 1500 years before Kepler found his three laws? And here is a good paper to start with: http://prd.aps.org/abstract/PRD/v77/i10/e103005, making an analogy between the periodic table and the taxomony of all orbits around a black hole.

Optimal Control Probem in the CR3BP solved!!! - 7 views

  •  
    This guy solved a problem many people are trying to solve!!! The optimal control problem for the three body problem (restricted, circular) can be solved using continuation of the secondary gravity parameter and some clever adaptation of the boundary conditions!! His presentation was an eye opener ... making the work of many pretty useless now :)

    Topputo and some of the others 'inspired' researchers you mention are actually here at the conference and they are all quite depressed :) Caillau really solves the problem: as a one single phase transfer, no tricks, no misconvergence, in general and using none of the usual cheats. What was produced so far by other were only local solutions valid for the particular case considered. In any case I will give him your paper, so that he knows he is working on already solved stuff :)
  •  
    Answer to Marek: the paper you may look at is: Discrete and differential homotopy in circular restricted three-body control
  •  
    I also loved his method, and it looked to me that is far more general than the CRTBP. As for the title of this post, OK maybe it is an exageration as it suggests that no solution was ever given before, on the other end, as Marek would say "come on guys!!!!!"
  •  
    Joris, that is the point I was excited abut, at the conference HE DID present solutions to the maximum mass problem!! One phase, from LEO to an orbit around the moon .. amazing :) You will find his presentation on line.... (according to the organizers) I gave him the reference to you paper anyway, but no pdf though as you did not upload it on our web pages and I could not find it in the web. So I gave him some bibliography I had with be from the russians, and from Russell, Petropoulos and Howell, As far as I know these are the only ones that can hope to compete with this guy!!
  •  
    If you send me the pdf I can give it to the guy .. the link you gave contains only the first page ... (I have no access till monday to the AIAA thingy)

    Well, well, Google says it. And all is a result of an algorithm..... Among the interesting fincings the algorithm says that technical competence of the boss is not needed..... against their own beliefs!!
