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

Preventing Plasma‐Induced Resist Hardening in Molybdenum Disulfide Transistors via Sacrificial Metal Mask Lithography

Small, Volume 22, Issue 56, 8 October 2026.
Photoresist (PR) residue significantly degrades the electrical performance of 2D semiconductors such as MoS2. In particular, the intrinsically ultrathin nature of these materials makes them highly susceptible to damage during conventional PR cleaning procedures.

Tactic Behaviors in Asymmetric Pacman Particles

Small, Volume 22, Issue 56, 8 October 2026.
The swimming behavior of TiO2 Pacman particles exhibits different modes depending on the fuel and illumination conditions. However, the behavior of these intrinsically asymmetric particles is still not well understood, and here we present a first approach to modeling their dynamics. Furthermore, we investigate their fundamental responses to some of the

Anisotropic Thermal Properties of Electrically Insulating Thin Films and Sheets: A Review

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 20, 26 October 2026.
Thermally conducting and electrically insulating materials with anisotropy properties play an integral role in advanced thermal management, in particular for electronic devices. This review discusses recent progress in enhancing thermal conductivity and controlling the thermal anisotropy between in‐plane and cross‐plane (through‐thickness) directions ...

Programmable Porosity in Polymers via Microfluidic Templating and 3D Printing

Small Methods, Volume 10, Issue 20, 26 October 2026.
Fluid templating is a powerful way to produce porous polymers. Microfluidic technologies enable fine control over the dimension and packing of bubbles and droplets. Combined with additive manufacturing, microfluidic templating enables the creation of polymeric functionally graded porous materials in which both porosity and three‐dimensional geometry ...

Defect Engineering in Two‐Dimensional Materials: Writing, Characterization, and Device Function

Small Structures, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Defect engineering in 2D materials is evolving from defect control to defect‐defined device design. This review presents a unified framework linking controllable defect writing, multimodal defect characterization, and defect‐enabled functionality, highlighting how defect type, spatial distribution, and chemical environment govern electronic ...

Ceres' Salty Ices: Sublimation‐Driven Evolution From Water Ice Exposures to Na‐Carbonate Deposits

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The dwarf planet Ceres hosts nine geologically recent water ice exposures revealed by NASA's Dawn mission. We investigated the 0.04–11 km2 sites using visible imagery and infrared (1.0–4.3 μm) reflectance spectroscopy. Ice occurrence was mapped, and its abundance, grain size, and mixing mode with local regolith were constrained with Hapke ...

Mapping the Western Jezero Crater Rim From Orbit: Connections to Regional Geologic Units and Context for Exploration by the Mars 2020 Perseverance Rover

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 10, October 2026.
Abstract The Mars 2020 rover is currently traversing the western rim of Jezero, a Middle to Late Noachian‐aged crater formed by an impactor that struck the northwest edge of Isidis Planitia (hereafter referred to as the Isidis basin) on Mars. Previous studies suggest that pre‐Isidis basin and Noachian outcrops are preserved throughout this region ...

Degradation Rate and Lifetime of Small Impact Craters on the Moon

AGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 7, October 2026.
Abstract Knowledge of crater degradation rates on the Moon is fundamental for dating individual craters, understanding material transport, and investigating crater equilibrium, with broader implications for water ice exploration, regolith evolution, and impact flux reconstruction.
