Methanogens Through Time and Space: Impact on Earth’s Planetary Evolution and Biogeochemistry
Methanogens, or methanogenic archaea (MA), are among the most ancient and widely distributed microorganisms, characterized by a unique metabolism that generates methane (CH4) as the terminal product of anaerobic respiration.

Fifty years ago: The beginnings of exobiology
International audienceMy aim is neither to retrace the complete history of exobiology and astrobiology - this would take too long, and has already been excellently done (Dick and Strick 2005) - nor to focus on questions of science policy, the action of ...

Oleoscopicity and Organic Deliquescence of Hydrophobic Compounds Under a Hydrocarbon Atmosphere
Hydrophobic compounds can acquire hydrocarbon vapor from organic‐enriched atmospheres and may deliquesce by dissolving completely in the acquired solvent. We report trends in oleoscopicity for a variety of organic compounds under an atmosphere of n‐hexane as a model hydrocarbon solvent. ABSTRACT This paper examines the acquisition of organic solvent by

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...
