From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 7, Page 4475-4514, October 2026.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

The Local Galactic Transient Survey Applied to an Optical Search for Directed Intelligence

The Astrophysical Journal
We discuss our transient search for directed energy systems in local galaxies, with calculations indicating the ability of modest searches to detect optical Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence sources in the closest galaxies. Our analysis follows P.

Using Anomaly Detection to Search for Technosignatures in Breakthrough Listen Observations

The Astronomical Journal
We implement a machine learning algorithm to search for extraterrestrial technosignatures in radio observations of several hundred nearby stars, obtained with the Parkes and Green Bank Telescopes by the Breakthrough Listen collaboration.

Satellite‐Based Global Assessment of Solar Resource Stability

Geophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Satellite spatial smoothing complicates comparisons of solar variability between gridded products and point measurements. We introduce the Stability Deviation Index (SDI), a bounded composite of solar intensity and intraday variability. Applied independently to 69 BSRN stations and co‐located CERES grid cells, SDI shows strong cross‐platform ...

Extraterrestrial intelligence and human imagination: SETI at the intersection of science, religion, and culture

, 2015
The search for extraterrestrial intelligence (SETI) represents one of the most significant crossroads at which the assumptions and methods of scientific inquiry come into direct contact with—and in many cases conflict with—those of religion.
