From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Balancing ballistic protection against physiological strain: Evidence from laboratory and field trials [PDF]

, 2015
This project was based on the premise that decisions concerning the ballistic protection provided to defence personnel should derive from an evaluation of the balance between protection level and its impact on physiological function, mobility, and ...

Optimizing Viscoelastic Properties of Rubber Compounds for Ballistic Applications

Applied Sciences, 2020
Using interlayers of rubber adds a positive effect to the synergy of disruptor–absorber armors. Emerging from its viscoelasticity the material is able to transform mechanical stress into heat.

Israel's Post‐War Healthcare Obligations

Bioethics, Volume 40, Issue 8, Page 828-832, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Since the beginning of the Israel–Hamas war in 2023, the healthcare infrastructure within Gaza has been dismantled. While international humanitarian law mandates distinction between lawful targets (combatants and military objectives) and non‐lawful targets (civilians and civilian objects), and acknowledging the inherent complexities of ...

A New Paradigm for Understanding the Rheology and Processability of Poly(p‐Phenylene Terephthalamide) Liquid‐Crystalline Solutions

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, Volume 143, Issue 34, September 10, 2026.
Kevlar is traditionally modeled as a rigid‐rod polymer, yet rheological behavior deviates from this assumption. The review introduces a novel “twist‐tie” entanglement theory for aramid polymer chains in the nematic liquid crystal state, providing a molecular explanation for deviations from rigid‐rod models. Understanding twist‐tie entanglement dynamics

Stability of Medicinal Nanoemulsions to Spaceflight: Insights From the StarMed Experiment

Advanced Healthcare Materials, Volume 15, Issue 33, 4 September 2026.
Chitosan‐coated melatonin nanoemulsions (MN) recovered from a sounding rocket mission preserve droplet size and controlled‐release behavior, whereas uncoated nanoemulsions show ageing‐driven droplet growth and increased accessible drug fraction. Simple polymer coatings thus enhance the flight resilience of liquid space medicines under cumulative launch

Long-term natural ageing effects on the structural, mechanical, and ballistic performance of UHMWPE-based soft ballistic inserts

Materials & Design
The aim of the study was to evaluate the degradation mechanisms of ultra-high molecular polyethylene (UHMWPE) fibres used in soft ballistic inserts manufactured in 2003 and 2005 and used and stored in conditions typical for this type of products.

Ultrasound‐Actuated Gene Editing in Human Kidney Organoids

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 49, 3 September 2026.
Peptide‐stabilized nanoemulsions enable spatially controlled, ultrasound‐triggered delivery of gene‐editing proteins deep within human kidney organoid tissues. Focused acoustic pulses drive droplet vaporization, propelling cargo into target renal cells while preserving native tissue microarchitecture. This non‐viral platform improves both the depth and
