When Communication Enables Catastrophe: Nuclear Risk and the Short Lifetimes of Technological Civilizations

open access: yesRisk Analysis, Volume 46, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The Fermi paradox may partly reflect technological self‐destruction acting as a Great Filter during post‐industrial development. Because the empirical record consists of a single civilization observed over an eighty‐year nuclear age, the exercise reported here is best understood as a structured, historically anchored scenario analysis rather ...

Automated Mineral Identification and Rock‐Type Classification of Lunar Mare Basalts Using SEM Images

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract We present an automated system for identifying minerals and classifying rock types in Apollo lunar mare basalts using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) imagery. Mineral segmentation is based on a U‐Net architecture, supplemented by two scale‐aware models designed to incorporate pixel size information.

Breeding 5.0: Artificial intelligence (AI)‐decoded germplasm for accelerated crop innovation

open access: yesJournal of Integrative Plant Biology, Volume 68, Issue 8, Page 2340-2352, August 2026.
This review synthesizes applications of AI and robotics for germplasm characterization and breeding, proposing the Breeding 5.0 framework with its “Breeding Flywheel”. By decoding germplasm's multidimensional architecture, AI drives data‐empowered automation cycles to accelerate germplasm innovation, redefining solutions for global food security ...

Ichnofossils in volcanic glass from palaeoproterozoic hydrothermal vents were burrowed by microorganisms probably seeking phosphate

open access: yesCommunications Earth & Environment
Ichnofossils in basaltic glass are putative microscopic trace fossils occurring on modern seafloor and throughout Earth history. While their biological origin remains debated, it is unknown why microorganisms thrive in volcanic glass.

Neocatastrophism and the Milky Way Astrobiological Landscape [PDF]

open access: yesSerbian Astronomical Journal, 2008
The number and distribution of habitable planets in the Milky Way is one of the foremost problems of contemporary astrobiological research. We investigate the effects of applying general neocatastrophic paradigm to the evolution of the Galactic Habitable

A TESS Test of the Hybrid Ring Strategy for Technosignature Searches Using GRB 221009A

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We present the first observational test of the hybrid ring strategy, a general coordinated signaling scheme proposed by N. Seto, which provides a practical Schelling point realization for interstellar signaling.

Solar Hegemony: M Dwarfs Are Unlikely to Host Observers Such As Ourselves

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
With no firm evidence for life beyond our solar system, inferences about the population of observers such as ourselves rest upon the Earth as a single input, at least for now.
