The inner powders removal was carefully controlled and a T6 thermal cycle was provided in a Nabertherm LH120/14 controlled atmosphere hoven. The heat inducing laser fusion process results in a significant residual stress and, therefore, in an unstable mirror [ 36, 37]. A stress relieving heat treatment was applied according to the following characteristics: the mirror was slowly heated at 5 °C/min rate up to the soaking temperature of 550 °C and maintained for 1.5 h; after a water quenching, an aging at 165 °C for 24 h was provided.
The choice was made to use a star trabecular structure which allows excellent quality in the fabrication of the beams, when properly inclined, using SLM technology. As well as some beautiful refracting telescopes in this gallery, we currently have one of the very earliest reflecting telescopes on display, generously lent by the Royal Society. It was made in the early 1670s by none other than Sir Isaac Newton and used mirrors to gather light, rather than lenses as found in refracting telescopes. In fact, Newton is often credited with inventing the reflecting telescope – but it’s worth remembering that contemporaries like James Gregory were experimenting with similar designs at this time.

SPIE Bellingham, Washington. https://doi.org/10.1117/3.2518254 Scientists agree that the beads are well-intentioned, but worry about their potential effects on the Arctic ecosystem. If they float around there indefinitely, “it’s just going to clog up the ocean and mess with the ecosystem,” says Cecilia Bitz, an atmospheric scientist at the University of Washington who specialises in Arctic sea ice. The work underlines that the AM metal mirror fabrication can have an important progress by combining the geometrical design with new high performance MMC materials. However, the integration with the secondary finishing operation and the deformation induced by the assembly are of primary importance to assure the functionality.The rising sea levels will erode British coasts and put homes at risk, with the Thames barrier needing an upgrade to cope with higher tides. Later in the century, governments will likely have to decide where they will build defences and where they will allow flooding to occur. The mirror was verified by means of the interferometric measurement. Two testing configurations were considered: free and screwed. In the former the mirror was simply placed on the support. In the latter, the mirror was fixtured by tightening the screws used for the final assembly with the nominal torque of 1.6 Nm required by the application.

The selected configuration allowed a 25% total mass reduction of static balanced mirror (from 415 to 311.8 g), compared with traditional technology (surface with ribs) mirror with geometry optimized for lightness;The Government's own watchdog tells us that delaying climate action will increase energy and transport costs for UK households. We want to see Rishi Sunak's sums to see what he based his decision on. As we approach the next general election all political parties must pledge their continued commitment to follow the science and listen to the independent advice of the Climate Change Committee." Most Read Due to climate warming, irreversibly thawing permafrost is releasing organic matter frozen for up to a million years, most of which decomposes into carbon dioxide and methane, further enhancing the greenhouse effect.
This issue is the second time this has occurred leading me to believe this is a factory defect. This is corroborated by the various forums on the Internet with this SAME issue. The question - which has since been shared on social media - starts off like this: "Albert and Bernard just became friends with Cheryl, and they want to know when her birthday is. Cheryl gives them a list of 10 possible dates. Cheryl then tells Albert and Bernard separately the month and the day of her birthday respectively."

Instead, she plans on distributing it strategically to protect some particularly fast-melting, vulnerable areas, like the Fram Strait, a thin passage between Greenland and Svalbard. According to results of a climate model she presented last December at the annual meeting of the American Geophysical Union, treating the Fram Strait could lead to large-scale ice regrowth across parts of the Arctic. She did concede though that "rage" zombies through an anger-inducing virus could be possible: "There certainly are some microbes which can change behaviour and lead to aggression, with the rabies virus being the best known.Albert says: "I don't know when Cheryl's birthday is, but I know that Bernard does not know too," and Bernard states: "At first I don't know when Cheryl’s birthday is, but I know now." This then prompts Albert to say: "Then I also know when Cheryl's birthday is." AlMangour B (2019) Additive manufacturing of emerging materials. Springer Nature, Cham, Switzerland. Making a historically sympathetic telescope mirror involves two key processes: first, the metal is cast in the shape of a disc; then, the surface of the disc is ground and polished to a smooth, accurate mirror finish. Speculum metal is now virtually obsolete as a material, but thanks to the virtuoso skills and tireless efforts of some truly talented contemporary artists, we were able to meet this somewhat unpredictable challenge head-on. Transformed: our speculum metal mirror before (left) and after (right) polishing. Even though some light pitting remains in the mirror’s surface, this doesn’t affect its optical quality.
