In 1990, Japan controlled almost half of the semiconductor market, whose turnover then did not exceed $38 billion at current prices. Now the share of this country has decreased to 10%, but the market turnover has increased at least tenfold. Both the USA and Japan may try to master advanced lithography without the participation of Taiwan, on which they are now heavily dependent in this area.

Scientists of the Ural Federal University (UrFU, Yekaterinburg) have developed a universal mathematical equation for alloys at the solidification stage. The equation allows us to determine how the microstructure of any crystalline substances, including metals, depends on the flow of the liquid melt. In metallurgy, understanding such a process will allow you to control the physical properties of the final parts that are cast from molten metals.

It is no secret that massive metal structures and structures such as bridges, wind turbines and scaffolding, bolted together, eventually "relax", which is fraught with serious consequences.

Rocket Lab company caught a space rocket by helicopter for the first time in history

On the night of May 3, for the first time in the history of world cosmonautics, it was possible to return the spent rocket stage with the help of parachutes and a helicopter. This is part of the plan of the American-New Zealand company Rocket Lab to create a reusable transport system. "Newspaper.Ru" followed the launch and found out from Pavel Pushkin, a former Russian space "private citizen", what are the advantages of such a scheme, and how it was planned to be used in the USSR.

The American company Rocket Lab for the first time caught the first stage of the Electron rocket using a helicopter after an orbital launch. After separation, the stage descended and released a parachute, and then the helicopter hooked it with a hook to lower the step onto a nearby vessel. If the state of the stage allows, it will be re-launched for the first time in one of the company's next missions. The launch was broadcast on the Rocket Lab YouTube channel.
