Fluorination of Silver Phosphate in Nickel Reaction Vessels for Triple Oxygen Isotope Analysis
ABSTRACT Rationale Increasingly, more laboratories are measuring the triple oxygen isotope values of phosphate. Standardization is key to having good interlaboratory results. Here, we present the triple oxygen isotope values of a suite of standards using fluorination and compare them with previously reported triple oxygen isotope values. Methods Silver

Toward a List of Molecules as Potential Biosignature Gases for the Search for Life on Exoplanets and Applications to Terrestrial Biochemistry [PDF]
Thousands of exoplanets are known to orbit nearby stars. Plans for the next generation of space-based and ground-based telescopes are fueling the anticipation that a precious few habitable planets can be identified in the coming decade.

Abstract The 2028 ESA/NASA Rosalind Franklin Mission (RFM) will search for signs of past and present life in the shallow subsurface of Mars. It is crucial to understand how minerals and any biosignatures uncovered during these sampling activities might change and be identified under today's Martian conditions.

Circular spectropolarimetric sensing of chiral photosystems in decaying leaves
Circular polarization spectroscopy has proven to be an indispensable tool in photosynthesis research and (bio)-molecular research in general. Oxygenic photosystems typically display an asymmetric Cotton effect around the chlorophyll absorbance maximum ...

The search for signs of life on exoplanets at the interface of chemistry and planetary science [PDF]
The discovery of thousands of exoplanets in the last two decades that are so different from planets in our own solar system challenges many areas of traditional planetary science.

Regularization via f‐Divergence: An Application to Multi‐Oxide Spectroscopic Analysis
Abstract In this paper, we explore the application of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) for predicting the chemical composition of complex geologic samples in a simulated Martian atmospheric environment. Specifically, we aim to characterize oxide weight percentages (wt.%) of rock samples analyzed by remote Laser‐Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS),

Cytokines are key cell signalling proteins in a number of immune and homeostatic pathways of the human body. In particular, they mediate intracellular mechanisms of allergy on the ocular surface by triggering cellular responses that result in typical ...

Abstract Introduction A proportion of people living with HIV (PLWH) fail to restore their CD4 count or their CD4/CD8 ratio despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART). PLWH with immune non‐response (INR) are at a higher risk of both AIDS and non‐AIDS events. The underlying mechanisms of INR remain unclear.

Biosignature hide and seek [PDF]
A new model predicts locations on the surface of radiation-blasted Europa, the ocean moon of Jupiter, where biochemical signatures of life emergent from the subsurface ocean might survive long enough for detection on the moon's changing surface.

Non‐innocent solvents in meteorite extractions: Evidence for artifact formation
Abstract Solvent extraction is a cornerstone of meteoritic organic and inorganic chemistry, yet the assumption that common solvents act as chemically inert media is becoming increasingly untenable. This study reports that low‐molecular‐weight alcohols, particularly methanol and ethanol, are “non‐innocent” solvents when used to extract soluble sulfur ...
