Lithium Niobate Quadratic Integrated Nonlinear Photonics: Enabling Ultra‐Wide Bandwidth and Ultrafast Photonic Engines

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 ...

Strong Fractionation of Deuterium and Helium in Sub-Neptune Atmospheres along the Radius Valley

The Astrophysical Journal
We simulate atmospheric fractionation in escaping planetary atmospheres using IsoFATE , a new open-source numerical model. We expand the parameter space studied previously to planets with tenuous atmospheres that exhibit the greatest helium and deuterium

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.

Far-ultraviolet Flares and Variability of the Young M Dwarf AU Mic: A Nondetection of Planet C in Transit at Lyα

The Astronomical Journal
Atmospheric escape’s potential to shape the exoplanet population motivates detailed observations of systems actively undergoing escape. AU Mic is a young and active M dwarf hosting two close-in transiting sub- to Neptune-sized planets. Atmospheric escape

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.

Helium Escape in Context: Comparative Signatures of Four Close-in Exoplanets

The Astrophysical Journal
Observations of escaping atmospheres on close-in exoplanets show a wide range in the strength and morphology of He I 10830 Å and H I absorption. Scaling relations attempt to link the He I signal to X-ray and UV irradiation, mass loss, and bulk planetary ...

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 ...

A Unified Treatment of Kepler Occurrence to Trace Planet Evolution. II. The Radius Cliff Formed by Atmospheric Escape

The Astronomical Journal
The Kepler mission enabled us to look at the intrinsic population of exoplanets within our galaxy. In period-radius space, the distribution of the intrinsic population of planets contains structure that can trace planet formation and evolution history ...

Deciphering the “Missing Xenon Paradox” in Celestial Bodies: A Multifaceted Perspective Toward Demystifying This Enigma

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 ...

Effects of Planetary Parameters on Disequilibrium Chemistry in Irradiated Planetary Atmospheres: From Gas Giants to Sub-Neptunes

The Astrophysical Journal
A primary goal of characterizing exoplanet atmospheres is to constrain planetary bulk properties, such as their metallicity, C/O ratio, and intrinsic heat.
