Large‐Scale Applications of Plasma Technologies: Progresses and Challenges

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasma technologies convert electrical power into energetic electrons, ions, reactive species, radiation and heat, thereby breaking through the bottleneck of purely thermal or chemical routes and bringing impressive changes to our world. This roadmap reviews the progress and challenges of plasma technologies from a large‐scale and application ...

Testing the Bus–DeMeo Asteroid Taxonomy Using Meteorite Spectra

The Planetary Science Journal
The most widely used method to spectrally classify asteroids is the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy. To test how well the Bus–DeMeo taxonomy groups asteroids on the basis of their mineralogy, we have classified ∼1500 meteorite spectra using this Bus–DeMeo system ...

Morphological and Morphometric Characterisation of Selected Camarodont Sea Urchin (Echinoidea: Camarodonta) Pedicellariae (Paracentrotus lividus, Psammechinus miliaris and Echinus esculentus)

Acta Zoologica, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pedicellariae are small appendages on the surface of the echinoid test, involved in defence, cleaning, and locomotion. Pedicellariae in three species of camarodont sea urchins common in UK waters (Paracentrotus lividus [Lamarck, 1816], Psammechinus miliaris [P.L.S Müller, 1771] and Echinus esculentus [Linnaeus, 1758]) are the focus of this ...

The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing but the Truth: Automatic Visualization Evaluation from Reconstruction Quality

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Recent advances in AI enable the automatic generation of visualizations directly from textual prompts using agentic workflows. However, visualizations produced via one‐shot generative methods often suffer from insufficient quality, typically requiring a human in the loop to refine the outputs.

Opportunities for asteroid retrieval missions [PDF]

, 2013
Asteroids and comets are of strategic importance for science in an effort to uncover the formation, evolution and composition of the Solar System. Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) are of particular interest because of their accessibility from Earth, but also ...

One‐more‐vertex Next‐Event Estimation with Hierarchical Geometry Sampling

Computer Graphics Forum, EarlyView.
Abstract Robust next‐event estimation (NEE) remains a challenge in scenes characterized by sparse or small‐scale geometry where indirect illumination is the primary transport mechanism. In these scenes, traditional path construction, which relies on local directional sampling, often fails to find intersections with the sparse geometry, and standard NEE

Photochemical effects of Mars‐like UV irradiation on carboxylic acids in carbonaceous chondrites and expectations for abiotic background organics on Mars

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.
Abstract In the search for life on Mars, understanding the origin of preserved organics is critical. Expected sources include exogenous delivery, endogenous synthesis, and potentially life. Environmental processing by ultraviolet (UV) irradiation can alter these organics, obscuring hallmarks of their origin. To deconvolve these effects, we conducted an

Apache Point Rapid Response Characterization of Primitive Imminent Impactor 2024 RW1

The Astronomical Journal
Imminent impactors may be detected only a few hours before their impact with Earth, providing a brief opportunity to characterize them before impact. We describe the characterization of imminent impactor 2024 RW _1 , which was discovered by the Catalina ...

A newly revised estimation of bulk densities and examination of the shape of individual Ryugu grains

Earth, Planets and Space, 2023
The bulk density of grains from a celestial body is a fundamental property related to its composition and structure, contributing to the understanding of its evolutionary history. In this study, we provide the bulk density of 637 grains returned from the
