Virgin Orbit, the company founded by Richard Branson with the aim of launching smaller satellites, tried unsuccessfully on Monday to launch a rocket off the coast of Southern California. It was the company's first test launch of a new rocket, which had been in development for five years, The Associated Press reports. The rocket was released from a jet dubbed Cosmic Girl, and dropped over the Pacific Ocean. In a statement, Virgin Orbit said it could confirm a "clean release from the aircraft. However, the mission terminated shortly into the flight. Cosmic Girl and our flight crew are safe and returning to base." The company did not say what went wrong, but stated it will "learn more as our engineers analyze the mountain of data we collected today." The rocket carried a test satellite, but the purpose of the flight was to gather data on each step of the launch process. Over the weekend, Virgin Orbit executive Will Pomerantz said roughly half of all first rocket launches fail, and company CEO Dan Hart said after…

Intense few-cycle optical pulses in the mid-infrared region are of great importance yet difficult to obtain with normal optical materials and techniques. To deal with this challenge, scientists in China and the UK proposed a scheme by use of plasma as a nonlinear optical medium, which can efficiently generate relativistic multi-millijoule near-single-cycle mid-infrared pulses at ~5 microns. This technique can be realized with available terawatt-class kHz lasers, bringing new opportunities in high-field and ultrafast science.

To this goal, Scientist in China demonstrated a general framework for all optical logic operations by a compound Huygens' metasurface enacted diffractive neural network, and verify it in a microwave experiment. This work makes a big step towards future multi-functional optical logic gates and high computing density.

Chirality-assisted lateral momentum transfer for bidirectional enantioselective separation
Chiral nanoparticles which twist the light were theoretically predicted to experience lateral forces perpendicular to light vector but lacks experimental verification. Now, scientists from Singapore, Italy, Spain and China demonstrate the first experimental sorting of chiral microparticles using optical lateral force induced by linearly polarized light. The force direction intriguingly depends on the polarization and incident angle of light, handedness of particles, etc. The technique will open new avenues for the detection and sorting of microparticles with imperceptible chemical differences

Scientists at Osaka University initiated a quantum random walk by shining lasers on a row of trapped ions. They showed that the observed locations of vibrations spreading out over time matched the predictions of quantum mechanics. This work may help elucidate unresolved questions in quantum chemistry and biology.

A team led by scientists from the Institut Jacques Monod (CNRS/Université de Paris)1 have shown that French prehistory was punctuated by two waves of migration: the first during the Neolithic period, about 6,300 years ago, the second during the Bronze Age, about 4,200 years ago.

Exotic properties of helium-methane compounds inside giant planets
Both helium and methane are major components of icy giant planets, however, whether they can react with each other is still an open question. Recently, scientists based in China and UK investigated this question using large-scale quantum simulations. They found an unexpected phase, stable at high temperature and pressure, which combines diffusive helium and plastic methane. Their discovery is helpful in understanding giant icy planets and the chemistry of helium in general.

Lossless conduction at the edges
Atomically thin layers of the semimetal tungsten ditelluride conduct electricity losslessly along narrow, one-dimensional channels at the crystal edges. The material is therefore a second-order topological insulator. By obtaining experimental proof of this behavior, physicists from the University of Basel have expanded the pool of candidate materials for topological superconductivity. The findings have been published in the journal Nano Letters.

What information is coded in bird alarm calls -- a new study from Korea
Recordings of the Oriental tit's alarm responses showed that alarm calls to snakes have special acoustic properties different from calls to chipmunks, even though both predators can enter bird's nests and destroy broods. Nestlings escaped from nests (and from the snake) when they heard a recording of the ''snake call'' but not ''chipmunk call'' by parents. This suggests that the calls do not carry information about predator's ability to enter the nest cavity, and that snakes are ''special'' predators.

Microbial cyborgs: Bacteria supplying power
Electronic devices are still made of lifeless materials. One day, however, 'microbial cyborgs' might be used in fuel cells, biosensors, or bioreactors. Scientists of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) have created the necessary prerequisite by developing a programmable, biohybrid system consisting of a nanocomposite and the Shewanella oneidensis bacterium that produces electrons. The material serves as a scaffold for the bacteria and, at the same time, conducts the microbially produced current. The findings are reported in ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces (DOI 10.1021/acsami.9b22116).

Saturable plasmonic metasurfaces for laser mode locking
Nonlinear plasmonics, an interdisciplinary subject combining nonlinear and sub-wavelength optics, is an emerging field in nanoscience and nanotechnology. However, practical applications remain limited to date. Here, scientists from France, China and Brazil have implemented plasmonic saturable metasurfaces into a fiber laser architecture to achieve soliton mode locking. This work opens new perspectives towards future applications where tunable nonlinear transfer functions are needed such as in ultrafast lasers or neuromorphic circuits.

Towards visible-wavelength passively mode-locked lasers in all-fibre format
Mode-locked fibre lasers are the fundamental building blocks of many photonic systems, ultrafast lasers in the visible region are costly and challenging to make. Chinese scientists have first demonstrated a visible-wavelength passively mode-locked all-fibre laser. The laser generates picosecond pulses at 635 nm, which represents an essential step towards miniaturized ultrafast fibre lasers in the visible light range. The work lays the foundations for use in applications such as material processing, medicine, and optical communications.

Using biologically inspired robotic swarms consisting of large groups of robots that have been programmed to operate cooperatively, much like individuals in an ant or bee colony, scientists from the University of Colorado demonstrate that the locally observed distribution of robots can be correlated to the location of environmental features, such as exits in office-like environments. The study's findings were published in IEEE/CAA Journal of Automatica Sinica.
