Other worlds aren't the only difficult terrain personnel will have to traverse in humanity's exploration of the solar system. There are some parts of our own planet that are inhospitable and hard to travel over. Inner Mongolia, a northern province of China, would certainly classify as one of those areas, especially in winter. But that's exactly the terrain team members from the China Aerospace Science and Technology Corporation (CASTC) had to traverse on December 16th to retrieve lunar samples from the Chang'e-5 mission. What was even more unique is that they did it with the help of exoskeletons.

Author(s): Kapildeb Dolui and Branislav K. NikolićThe authors demonstrate how to screen computationally heterostructures of ultrathin layers of conventional ferromagnetic metals and monolayers of transition-metal dichalcogenides, using first-principles Green functions and first-principles quantum transport techniques in order to find an optimal manifestation of the spin-orbit proximity effect within a ferromagnetic metal and the corresponding spin-orbit torque on its magnetization once the current is passed through the heterostructures. This approach identifies the Co/WSe 2 bilayer as a potentially optimal heterostructure for spintronic applications based on effects that require large current-driven nonequilibrium spin density.
