Testing cosmic ray acceleration with radio relics: a high-resolution study using MHD and tracers [PDF]
Weak shocks in the intracluster medium may accelerate cosmic-ray protons and cosmic-ray electrons differently depending on the angle between the upstream magnetic field and the shock normal.

Signatures of a Two Million Year Old Supernova in the Spectra of Cosmic Ray Protons, Antiprotons, and Positrons. [PDF]
The locally observed cosmic ray spectrum has several puzzling features, such as the excess of positrons and antiprotons above ~20 GeV and the discrepancy in the slopes of the spectra of cosmic ray protons and heavier nuclei in the TeV-PeV energy range ...

Compliant Robotics in Space: A Prospective Review of Soft and Deformable Systems for Space Missions
Compliant robots are increasingly becoming integral to space exploration due to their adaptability, flexibility, and lightweight design. This article reviews categories such as soft, reconfigurable, and hyper‐redundant robots and their evolving role in enhancing space missions.

Revisiting metastable cosmic string breaking
Metastable cosmic strings appear in models of new physics with a two-step symmetry breaking G → H → 1, where π 1(H) ≠ 0 and π 1(G) = 0. They decay via the monopole-antimonopole pair creation inside. Conventionally, the breaking rate has been estimated by

TeV Instrumentation: Current and Future
During the last 20 years, TeV astronomy has turned from a fledgling field, with only a handful of sources, into a fully-developed astronomy discipline, broadening our knowledge on a variety of types of TeV gamma-ray sources. This progress has been mainly

Analytical Model for Estimating the Zenith Angle Dependence of Terrestrial Cosmic Ray Fluxes
A new model called “PHITS-based Analytical Radiation Model in the Atmosphere (PARMA) version 4.0” was developed to facilitate instantaneous estimation of not only omnidirectional but also angular differential energy spectra of cosmic ray fluxes anywhere ...

Footprint characteristics revised for field‐scale soil moisture monitoring with cosmic‐ray neutrons [PDF]
Cosmic‐ray neutron probes are widely used to monitor environmental water content near the surface. The method averages over tens of hectares and is unrivaled in serving representative data for agriculture and hydrological models at the hectometer scale ...

ABSTRACT Hereditary multiple osteochondromas (HMO) is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by heterozygous deleterious variants in the EXT1 or EXT2 genes. While the clinical core phenotype is well established and mainly consists of bone deformities, limb length discrepancies, multiple benign bone neoplasms, and increased risk of chondrosarcoma, the ...

Impact of transport modelling on the $^{60}$Fe abundance inside Galactic cosmic ray sources [PDF]
The ACE-CRIS collaboration has recently released the measurement of radioactive $^{60}$Fe nuclei abundance in Galactic Cosmic Rays, in the energy range $\sim 195-500$ MeV per nucleon. We model Cosmic Ray propagation and derive from this measurement the $^{60}$Fe/$^{56}$Fe ratio that is expected in the sources of Galactic Cosmic Rays. We describe Cosmic
