Optimal Control Applications and Methods, Volume 47, Issue 1, Page 4-23, January/February 2026.ABSTRACT High‐level decision‐making for dynamical systems often involves performance and safety specifications that are activated or deactivated depending on conditions related to the system state and commands. Such decision‐making problems can be naturally formulated as optimization problems where these conditional activations are regulated by ...

Formation of Asteroid (16) Psyche by a Giant Impact
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.Abstract Asteroid (16) Psyche is the largest likely metal‐rich asteroid in the Solar System and the target of the NASA Psyche mission. The mission aims to determine whether the asteroid is the core of a differentiated planetesimal that lost its mantle via a giant impact.

Task‐Specific Optimal Trajectory Planning of Dual‐arm Space Robot Based on Convex Optimization
IET Control Theory &Applications, Volume 20, Issue 1, January/December 2026.This paper presents a robust, task‐specific optimal trajectory planning framework for dual‐arm space robots. The method unifies two key problems—point‐to‐point grasping and continuous trajectory tracking—within an efficient optimization framework. Extensive comparative simulations on a highly redundant 14‐degree‐of‐freedom (14‐DoF) dual‐arm space robot

Uranus' Long‐Term Thermospheric Cooling Is Unlikely to Be Primarily Driven by the Solar Wind
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 24, 28 December 2025.Abstract Over the last 40 yrs, Uranus' thermospheric temperature has decreased by ∼8 K/yr. Here we show that this is less likely to be driven by solar wind kinetic power than previously thought. We determine that the solar wind kinetic power at Uranus has been increasing since the start of solar cycle 24 in 2009, while Uranus's thermospheric ...
