Microspherules Formed by Lightning Strikes
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.Abstract Natural microspherules are formed by high‐temperature processes and are present throughout the geologic record to the present day. We report the discovery of large numbers of microspherules recovered from a rock pavement in the Pilbara region, Western Australia.

Analysis of low-thrust liquid rocket engines with a methane air pump unit
Вестник Самарского университета: Аэрокосмическая техника, технологии и машиностроение, 2016 The first airplane working on cryogenic fuel was developed in the USSR in early 1980s on the basis of the passenger aircraft Tu-154. It was then modified using a hydrogen engine installed instead of one of the three kerosene engines.
