• ITMO Scientists Study Properties of Terahertz Gauss-Bessel Beams

  …eling was conducted by means of terahertz pulse time-domain holography. This method that is based on classical terahertz time-resolved spectroscopy allows to register two-dimensional distribution of the terahertz field’s complex amplitude, as well as conduct numerical computations of its propagation to an arbitrary plane. This way, it becomes possible to retrace the …

• Climate Change: Future Challenges for Urban Scientists

  …ow it’s warmer, as well. Therefore, we can say that the tendencies are similar. Amongst the key factors contributing to the development of a heat island are not the emission rates, but a factor that has to do with the changes in albedo, which characterizes the diffuse reflection of solar radiation. St. Petersburg’s surface has greatly changed over time; earlie…
