Development of a new sample holder and sample holder container for coordinated surface analyses (micro-IR, XPS, FE-SEM, and micro-Raman) and ion irradiation experiments of extraterrestrial materials

Earth, Planets and Space
The Hayabusa2 and OSIRIS-REx missions have successfully returned pristine materials from the carbonaceous asteroids Ryugu and Bennu, respectively. These missions offer a unique opportunity to study space weathering processes, primarily driven by solar ...

Integrating Grain to Ground Motion Data for Critical Rock Bridge and Slope Failure Analysis

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Rock masses can fail catastrophically with little warning, yet their stability depends on hidden internal connections that channel forces and localise damage. Among these, rock bridges–a “known unknown” in slope mechanics–lock fractured rock and control how failure unfolds, but their concealed geometry and uncertain strength obscure where and ...

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Electrical Resistivity Tomography for the 2D and 3D Investigation of Pingos and Permafrost Mounds in Northern Canada's Mountain and Coastland Areas

Permafrost and Periglacial Processes, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pingos and related permafrost mounds are widespread periglacial landforms in Arctic environments that are ice‐rich on the one hand and contain taliks on the other, making them vulnerable to climate change. So far, the interior, geophysical characteristics, and distribution of ground ice within these dome‐ or cone‐shaped features have not been ...

Photosynthesis and Photo-Stability of Nucleic Acids in Prebiotic Extraterrestrial Environments [PDF]

, 2014
Laboratory experiments have shown that the UV photo-irradiation of low-temperature ices of astrophysical interest leads to the formation of organic molecules, including molecules important for biology such as amino acids, quinones, and amphiphiles. When pyrimidine is introduced into these ices, the products of irradiation include the nucleobases uracil,

Machine Learning for Thermodynamic States of Notional Nonideal Energetic Mixtures

Propellants, Explosives, Pyrotechnics, EarlyView.
. ABSTRACT Currently, modeling the thermodynamic states in the reaction zone of a detonating energetic mixture entails iteratively solving a set of coupled differential equations that require detailed material property information or models whose empirical parameters must be physically measured.
