Surfer
Resumen

A lo largo de la historia del surfeo, se han utilizado multitud de estrategias para acceder a una situación sostenida y controlada de libre transporte de acuerdo con las características de la ola. En la más básica y primordial, se corre la ola con el propio cuerpo (body surfing), bien sea deslizándose por la superficie de su pared o manteniéndose totalmente sumergido en la parte posterior de la misma. Fenómenonos similares a escala microscópica proporcionan la posibilidad de controlar y transportar electrones mediante surfeo sobre ondas acústicas en sólidos cristalinos,  como los surferos hacen en los ríos con macareos o en el mar sobre adecuadas olas.

Las Ondas Gravitacionales como Ondas No Lineales

Conferencia de Divulgación por Francisco R. Villatoro (Autor del blog científicio de la Mula Francis https://francis.naukas.com/)

Gravitational Waves
Resumen

Los interferómetros de Advanced LIGO han observado las ondas gravitacionales producidas por la fusión de dos agujeros negros[1]. En Livingston (Louisiana, EE.UU.) y en Hanford (Washington, EE.UU.) se detectaron sendas señales casi idénticas con una relación señal-ruido de 24. Su origen se ha identificado con la fusión de dos agujeros negros de unas 36 y 29 masas solares, que ha dado lugar a un único agujero negro de unas 62 masas solares. El suceso astrofísico más violento jamás observado.

Las ondas gravitacionales son una solución de las ecuaciones de Einstein para campo débil en el vacío[2]. En esta aproximación se estudian como si fueran ondas lineales. Sin embargo, las ondas gravitacionales propagan energía y momento, la fuente de la gravitación de Einstein. Por tanto, las ondas gravitacionales son ondas no lineales&nbsp [3,4]. De hecho, la frecuencia de la señal observada por Advanced LIGO varía, un fenómeno cuyo origen es no lineal.

Los agujeros negros son soluciones de tipo solitón de las ecuaciones de Einstein para el vacío [5]. La fusión de dos agujeros negros se puede interpretar como la fusión de dos solitones. Como en toda ecuación no integrable, este proceso no lineal genera radiación. Por ello, la generación de ondas gravitacionales requiere considerar efectos no lineales.

Antonio Castellanos Mata

(07.03.1947 – 27.01.2016)


Personal life

Antonio Castellanos Mata was born on March 7, 1947, in Antoñanes del Páramo, a small austere village near León, Spain. A few years later, the family moved to León. He was the third (and last) child of Manuel Castellanos Berjón (1910–1993), a school teacher, and Fidela Mata Sarmiento (1915–2013). A love for reading and admiration for science were always part of family life. Antonio's parents separated when he was a small child, but his father stayed in touch with his children and taught little Antonio mathematics. Relations with his mother and his siblings, Domingo José and Aurora, were very important for Antonio during all his life.

As a little child, Antonio was very religious and decided to become a priest. While studying in a seminary, he changed his opinion, became rebellious, and started to study mathematics and physics on his own. Several months before graduating he was expelled from the seminary. However, he studied himself all the necessary subjects, including math and sciences, passed the exams, and entered the University of Valladolid. Some friendships formed in that period lasted to the very end of his life. Antonio was awarded the first PhD in physics at the University of Valladolid. He was granted a Fulbright scholarship and spent a year at the Ohio State University, concluding his stay by a journey through almost the whole of Latin America, going to the most dangerous places and talking to people of all classes. He wanted to see how people lived and wanted to change the world for the better. His character and worldview never ceased to have this revolutionary streak. He liked to travel and visited many countries of the world. In many of them, he established long-lasting scientific collaborations. One of the important events in his life was meeting Pierre Atten, who became his close friend and inspired in him a love for electrohydrodynamics.

The first spouse of Antonio was María Elena Navarrete Sandoval. They married in 1975 and had a son, Antonio Castellanos Navarrete, and a daughter, Dayeli Anahí Castellanos Navarrete. In 2006, Antonio married Elena Grekova, with whom he had two sons, León Antonievich Castellanos Grekov and Iván Antonievich Castellanos Grekov.

In 2014, several months after the death of his mother, Antonio was incidentally diagnosed with kidney cancer at an early stage, but of a rare and aggresive type. In 2015, it gave metastases, despite their very low probability, and after a year of fighting the disease, Antonio died on January 27, 2016.

To his very last days, Antonio worked, gave classes, continued his research, and directed scientific projects. He kept his sense of humour, his enchanting smile, his interest and love for science, generosity, care for people around him, fortitude and courage, his open, sincere nature, for which he was admired and loved by his colleagues, friends, and family.

Scientific achievements

Antonio defended his PhD thesis Dispersion theory and its application to the reaction 11B(d, α)Be9 at the University of Valladolid in 1972. He worked at many universities: Universidad de Valladolid, Universidad del País Vasco, Universidad Autonoma de Madrid; since 1983, he was a full professor at the University of Seville. Antonio made long-term scientific visits to the USA, France, Nicaragua, and Russia, collaborated with researchers from the UK, Netherlands, China. He worked in various fields of science: Antonio founded a scientific school at the University of Seville. His research group of Electrohydrodynamics and Cohesive Granular Media included more than 20 researchers. Many of his former students are now full professors and continue the scientific tradition, seeing Antonio as their teacher and a dear friend. He always treated his students as equals, with deep respect, discussed scientific problems with them, gave them freedom, and cared about their progress in science more than about anything else. He lectured physics at various universities during all his career. For the last 33 years, he taught electrodynamics and electromagnetism at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Seville, a task which he performed with enthusiasm and passion. Antonio directed research projects for more than 30 years, and this made it possible for him to organize two laboratories at the University. He always had bright ideas, scientific intuition, and creative mind. Dedicating a lot of efforts to pure science, Antonio was also interested in practical problems and collaborated with industry (Xerox Corporation, Novartis, Dow Corning, IFPRI). Antonio signed only those papers to which he indeed contributed, but nevertheless authored more than 350 papers, with more than 7800 citations, though he himself did not give importance to these numbers. He believed that only important contributions matter. We may cite, for instance, the following ones: Antonio belonged to a generation that played an important role in the revival of physics in Spain. In 2013, he was awarded the Prize FAMA for the research career by the University of Seville.

Among his scientific results, we can mention the following: In his last years, Antonio worked on thermodynamics in relativity (but he did not have time to complete this work) and on triboelectricity in fine powders (not published due to contract restrictions). His work on wave propagation in powders at low pressure, as well as other research lines initiated by him, will be continued by his colleagues. As a researcher, Antonio combined a strong theoretical mind, experimental intuition, profound understanding of physics of phenomena, and passionate love for science.
