Follow RT on Viktor Medvedchuk, the head of Ukraine’s largest opposition party, has accused the country’s president of trying to establish a dictatorship, after the government shuttered media outlets and unveiled sanctions against politicians.
On Friday evening, the country’s National Security and Defense Council announced that it would impose a package of measures against seven people and 19 legal entities, including the multimillionaire MP, for allegedly financing terrorism. The body’s secretary, Alexei Danilov, told journalists that the sanctions would affect
“all the property that Mr Medvedchuk owns,” as well as any assets belonging to his wife, Oksana. Five aircraft that fly between Moscow and Kiev will also face restrictions.

The study of warm dense matter helps us understand what is going on inside giant planets, brown dwarfs, and neutron stars. However, this state of matter, which exhibits properties of both solids and plasmas, does not occur naturally on Earth. It can be produced artificially in the lab using large X-ray experiments, albeit only at a small scale and for short periods of time. Theoretical and numerical models are essential to evaluate these experiments, which are impossible to interpret without formulas, algorithms, and simulations. Scientists at the Center for Advanced Systems Understanding (CASUS) at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) have now developed a method to evaluate such experiments more effectively and faster than before.

The skills behind the legendary sharpness of wootz steel were once forgotten, but Andy Extance talks to the researchers unsheathing its secrets
From beside his computer David Edge picks up something that marks his office as unique: a 19th century Afghan wootz steel dagger. Its chaotic, swirling patterns are striking as the blade is tilted. Although Edge is head of conservation at the Wallace Collection in London, UK, which has many exotic knives and swords, he personally owns this dagger. The patterns’ similarity to the rings that oil forms on the surface of water makes it obvious why the alloy is sometimes called watered steel.
