Abstract It is interesting to note in recent years for a large number of researchers the topic of photonic crystals (PhCs) because of their new and useful properties. In addition, there are many advantages to photonic crystals materials as a high reflectance materials as well as the high transmittance materials based on the target application. The calculations were done for Aluminum oxide and titanium oxide (Al2O3/TiO2) composite photonic crystal in one dimension, which shows a high reflectivity (~ 99 %). The chosen photonic crystal composite can be useful to reflect the Cherenkov light many times which comes out from Cherenkov radiation by using radioisotope 90Sr-90Y. The output intensified light has power 1.45 µwatt and 1.45 nwatt for 90Sr-90Y with the activity 1Ci and 1mCi respectively, that can be used for micro/nano-power source applications.

Saturn's Rings

ABSTRACTA mission to rendezvous with the rings of Saturn is studied with regard to science rationale and instrumentation and engineering feasibility and design. Future detailedin situexploration of the rings of Saturn will require spacecraft systems with enormous propulsive capability. NASA is currently studying the critical technologies for just such a system, called Nuclear Electric Propulsion (NEP). Electric propulsion is the only technology which can effectively provide the required total impulse for this demanding mission. Furthermore, the power source must be nuclear because the solar energy reaching Saturn is only 1% of that at the Earth. An important aspect of this mission is the ability of the low thrust propulsion system to continuously boost the spacecraft above the ring plane as it spirals in toward Saturn, thus enabling scientific measurements of ring particles from only a few kilometers.

Night Shift Work

The purpose of this article is to provide background information and the current understanding of a less familiar cause of female breast cancer; exposure to ultraviolet light at night. Breast cancer is a common disease that causes significant morbidity and mortality in women. There are several risk factors for breast cancer, most of which are genetic and environmental in nature. An often-overlooked risk factor is exposure to blue light during night shift work, which decreases melatonin production. One of the many cancer-preventing properties of melatonin is to limit estrogen production. Increased lifetime exposure to estrogen is a well-known cause of breast cancer. Awareness of nighttime blue light exposure as a breast cancer risk factor by women doing night shift work and those exposed to nighttime light via smartphones and laptops, is essential information to know so that protective measures can be taken.
