Nanophotonics, Volume 15, Issue 9, 13 May 2026.This perspective surveys emerging quantum and classical photonic applications across operating wavelengths and timescales, highlighting persistent technological gaps in integrated light sources. We examine the unique advantages of quadratic nonlinear photonics on the thin‐film lithium niobate (TFLN) platform and discuss strategies for realizing ...

On the Dual Nature of Atmospheric Escape
The Astrophysical JournalPlanetary atmospheres cannot remain hydrostatic at all altitudes because they approach finite density at infinite radius, implying infinite mass. Classical treatments address this in two directions: either retain a hydrostatic structure while allowing ...

Modeling the Seasonality of Wind‐Driven Hydrocarbon Waves in Titan's Polar Lakes
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Titan, the only body in the solar system aside from Earth with standing liquids on its surface, has high‐latitude hydrocarbon lakes and seas. As Titan's atmosphere generates light winds, there should be waves on the surface of these lakes and seas, yet, direct wave observations are scant.

Volcanism at Piton de la Fournaise as an Analog for Chloris Mons, Venus
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Identifying and investigating terrestrial analogs for Venus volcanic activity is necessary to prepare for the planned upcoming missions to Venus. We propose volcanism at Piton de la Fournaise, a frequently active oceanic shield volcano, as an analog to volcanism at Chloris Mons, Venus.

Two-dimensional Models of Microphysical Clouds on Hot Jupiters. I. Cloud Properties
The Astrophysical JournalWe present a new two-dimensional, bin-scheme microphysical model of cloud formation in the atmospheres of hot Jupiters that includes the effects of longitudinal gas and cloud transport.

Impacts of Carbon Dioxide Deposition on Martian Near‐Surface Wave Activity
Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 7, 16 April 2026.Abstract A prominent feature of Mars' winter atmosphere is near‐surface baroclinic wave activity. These waves exert strong control on dust storm variability and contribute to transport of heat, momentum, and dust. Using a suite of Mars general circulation model simulations, we investigate an underexplored connection between near‐surface wave activity ...

Mechanisms of Superrotation in Slowly Rotating and Tidally Locked Planets
The Planetary Science JournalSuperrotation is a common feature of quickly rotating gas giants (e.g., Jupiter), slowly rotating planetary bodies (e.g., Titan), and tidally locked planets.

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.Abstract Xenon (Xe) is a heavy noble gas with intriguing chemical properties, such as having several stable isotopes and the ability to form compounds under extreme conditions. Despite the predictions based on cosmochemical models that suggest xenon should be relatively abundant in planetary reservoirs, empirical data indicate a significant depletion ...
