Journal of Anatomy, Volume 248, Issue 3, Page 490-500, March 2026.We present a method of injecting peripheral nerves with radiopaque contrast and subsequent CT scanning that produces excellent 3D models of the nerves, leaving the specimens intact and ready for further analysis (e.g., for micro‐CT or histology). Abstract The peripheral nervous system has been the subject of various studies on topics ranging from the ...

X‐ray computed tomography study of terrestrial analog cores in preparation for Mars sample return
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 405-426, March 2026.Abstract Mars Sample Return (MSR) is expected to transform planetary science by providing unprecedented access to pristine Martian material. Initial characterization in the sample receiving facility (SRF) will rely on nondestructive techniques such as X‐ray computed tomography (XCT) to document the condition, distribution, and internal features of ...

Al‐Khadhaf: The first camera‐observed (H5–6) meteorite fall from Oman
Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 3, Page 522-547, March 2026.Abstract A fireball camera system installed in 2022 by the Oman Meteorite Monitoring Project (OMMP) as part of the Global Fireball Observatory (GFO) recorded a 3.2 s fireball on March 8, 2022 at 8:15 p.m. UTC. A meteoroid of 4 ± 2 kg entered the atmosphere at 14.0 km/s.

Laser Ablation Sampling With Low‐Power Plasma: A LA‐MIP‐MS Instrument for Spaceflight
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry, Volume 40, Issue 3, 15 February 2026.ABSTRACT Rationale Inductively coupled plasma (ICP) is a commonly used ion source for mass spectrometry‐based chemical analysis of a wide range of materials. Traditional ICP ion sources use high power (> 1000 W) and significant gas flow (> 10 L/min), rendering them unsuitable for spaceflight, as they are too resource‐intensive for planetary spacecraft.
