QuNET INITIATIVE DURING VISIT OF GERMAN FEDERAL PRESIDENT The #QuNET initiative, a research initiative funded by the Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (Federal Ministry of Education and Research), is developing the foundations for highly secure #quantumcommunication systems using state-of-the-art #quantumtechnology. The systems for practically tap-proof #communication can, thus, pave the way for long-term data security and technological sovereignty. During the Federal President's visit to Fraunhofer IOF last week, QuNET researchers presented a model for quantum key distribution (#QKD). It demonstrated the exchange of quantum keys between a satellite and two ground stations. Such a system could one day form the basis of a global quantum network. Frank-Walter Steinmeier was able to experience the exhibit and the research behind it hands-on and observed how interference signals can be detected by changing the quantum states. The Fraunhofer IOF is also researching the future of communication using quanta as part of other projects, such as #HYPERSPACE, underlining the importance of #quantum research in the field of global communication systems. 👉 https://lnkd.in/ei3JWXYm Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute HHI, Deutsches Zentrum für Luft-und Raumfahrt e.V., FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg, Max Planck Institut für die Physik des Lichts Fabian Steinlechner, Karin Burger, Markus Leipe

Fraunhofer IIS opens laboratory in space #Radiation, #vacuum, and substantial #temperature #fluctuations: extreme conditions prevail in space, presenting a tough challenge for satellite communications. With the #Fraunhofer On-Board Processor (#FOBP), experiments can be conducted in space to explore whether new technologies are operational under real conditions. The FOBP passed its final tests last week and has begun its service on board the #Heinrich #Hertz #satellite of the #GermanSpaceAgency at the German Aerospace Center (DLR). #Satellitecommunications players are often faced with the fact that higher-performance technologies come into use only once their functionality has also been proven in space. This delays progress and limits the satellite industry’s innovation potential. To remove these obstacles, Fraunhofer IIS has opened the #FOBP, a laboratory in space equipped with a special feature: the satellite’s payload can be controlled from Earth at any time, even at an altitude of 36,000 kilo meters, and reprogrammed for different use cases. “You can think of it like a smartphone that installs updates to meet new demands,” says Rainer Wansch, Head of the RF and SatCom Systems department. The opportunities for the industry to use the experimental platform are just as diverse as satellite communications themselves. Their smooth operation depends on disparate elements coming together to form a seamless transmission chain. Such elements include the components installed in a satellite as well as the modems and antennas that enable communication from the ground. For these individual elements to work together in an optimum fashion, research is underway into various concepts that aim to manage capacity as efficiently as possible. https://lnkd.in/g3c5XwEv #Newstoday #SatEvo #SatelliteEvolutionGroup

📃Scientific paper: X-ray polarization from parsec-scale components of active galactic nuclei: observational prospects Abstract: We present a broad analysis of X-ray polarimetric observational prospects for radio-quiet active galactic nuclei (AGN), focusing on the role of parsec-scale components. We provide a revision of self-consistent type-1 and type-2 generic AGN radiative transfer models that were obtained with a Monte Carlo code STOKES, evaluating the effects of absorption and scattering. Our model consists of a central disc-corona emission obtained with the KYNSTOKES code in the lamp-post geometry, an equatorial wedge-shaped dusty torus and two symmetric conical polar outflows. We argue that the information on the mutual orientation, shape, relative size and composition of such components, usually obtained from spectroscopy or polarimetry in other wavelengths, is essential for the X-ray polarization analysis of the obscured type-2 AGNs. We provide general detectability prospects for AGNs with 2-8 keV polarimeters on board of the currently flying IXPE satellite and the forthcoming eXTP mission. Finally, we assess the role of contemporary X-ray polarimetry in our understandings of the unified AGN model after the first year and a half of IXPE operation. ;Comment: 20 pages, 31 figures, accepted for publication in MNRAS Continued on ES/IODE ➡️ https://etcse.fr/Ju6P ------- If you find this interesting, feel free to follow, comment and share.

🌟 Celebrating 20+ Years of Innovation with the Legendary LTQ Orbitraps! 🌟 It's been about 20 years since Thermo Fisher Scientific revolutionized the field of mass spectrometry with the launch of the LTQ Orbitraps. These instruments, while legendary in their own right, have since been succeeded by more advanced and high-performance Orbitrap models. However, as highlighted in our two latest publications, even the legacy LTQ Orbitrap platforms can still achieve analytical performance that rivals today's FTMS instruments. How, you ask? 🔬 By upgrading the data acquisition technology with cutting-edge systems like our FTMS Boosters, enabling absorption mode Fourier transformation (FT) and extended duration transient acquisition, we've unlocked the exceptional power that was originally embedded by the brilliant Alexander Makarov and his team in those early models. Explore our findings (open-access papers): Upgrade of an LTQ Orbitrap XL with a pulsed (MALDI) ion source: https://lnkd.in/erwk9aBa Upgrade of an LTQ Orbitrap XL with a continuous ion source (APGD): https://lnkd.in/e-sfmSQ5 These advancements are a testament to the enduring genius of the LTQ Orbitrap design and the possibilities that arise when legacy systems are combined with modern technology. 🚀 Let’s continue pushing the boundaries of what's possible in mass spectrometry! #MassSpectrometry #Orbitrap #FTMS #Innovation #ThermoFisher #AnalyticalChemistry

📃Scientific paper: Radio Continuum Study of the Large Magellanic Cloud Supernova Remnant Honeycomb Nebula Abstract: We present the first and deepest Australia Telescope Compact Array radio continuum images of the Honeycomb Nebula at 2000 and 5500 MHz solely from archival data. The resolutions of these images are 3.6 x 2.8 arcsec2 and 1.3 x 1.2 arcsec2 at 2000 and 5500 MHz. We find an average radio spectral index for the remnant of -0.76 +- 0.07. Polarisation maps at 5500 MHz reveal an average fractional polarisation of 25 +- 5% with a maximum value of 95 x 16. We estimate the equipartition field for Honeycomb Nebula of 48 +- 5 \{\mu\}G, with an estimated minimum energy of Emin = 3 x 1049 erg. The estimated surface brightness, \{\Sigma\}1 GHz , is 30 x 10-20 W m-2 Hz-1 sr-1; applying the \{\Sigma\}-D relation suggests this supernova remnant is expanding into a low-density environment. Finally, using Hi data, we can support the idea that the Honeycomb Nebula exploded inside a low-density wind cavity. We suggest that this remnant is likely to be between late free expansion stage and early Sedov phase of evolution and expanding into a low-density medium.
