Self-Sustaining Living Habitats in Extraterrestrial Environments

open access: yesAstrobiology
Standard definitions of habitability assume that life requires the presence of planetary gravity wells to stabilize liquid water and regulate surface temperature. Here, the consequences of relaxing this assumption are evaluated. Temperature, pressure, volatile loss, radiation levels, and nutrient availability all appear to be surmountable obstacles to ...

Habitat‐Specific Design Strategies for Untethered Soft Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Habitat shapes the design of untethered soft robots. Across land, water, air, and living tissues, environmental constraints govern viable combinations of compliant structures, actuation mechanisms, and energy delivery. This review connects these constraints with robotic performance and identifies design principles for advancing adaptable, durable, and ...

Space Pump: Repairable 3D‐Printed Bioinspired Pneumatic Peristaltic Pump for Fluid and Regolith Transport in Space

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The space pump transports lunar regolith under vacuum condition. A fully 3D‐printed biomimetic peristaltic pump demonstrates reliable transport of liquids and solids using pneumatic ring actuators and flexible fused filament fabrication. The system operates under atmospheric and vacuum conditions, achieves high flow rates, and enables self‐priming ...

Searching for the Core of Conspiracy Belief Systems: The Relationship Between Specific Beliefs and Generic Mentality

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Social Psychology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Conspiracism is commonly measured through specific conspiracy beliefs and generalized conspiracy mentality, a broad tendency to suspect conspiracies behind events. Researchers often assume that these measures are psychometrically distinct and that mentality accounts for correlations among beliefs.
