Constraining the Hydration of Clay Minerals and Abundances of Amorphous Phases in Gale Crater, Mars

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 5, May 2026.
Abstract Both water and organic matter are required for the development and persistence of life. Phyllosilicates (clay minerals) have high surface areas that easily sorb water and organic matter. The Curiosity rover has investigated several hundred meters of stratigraphy in Gale crater, including where clays were detected from orbit.

A Possible Solution to the Mystery of the ANITA Anomalous Events

Annalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 4, April 2026.
In 2006 and 2014, the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA), a balloon‐borne radio observatory flying over Antarctica, detected two strange upward‐going radio pulse events that have not yet been explained by our current understanding of physics.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Swampland: The Cosmologist's Handbook to the String‐Theoretical Swampland Programme

Fortschritte der Physik, Volume 74, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract String theory has strong implications for cosmology, implying the absence of a cosmological constant, ruling out single‐field slow‐roll inflation, and that black holes decay. The origins of these statements are elucidated within the string‐theoretical swampland programme.

Influence of Mars Topography on Radiation Dose Detected by the Mars Science Laboratory and Assessment of Mars Surface Albedo Radiation

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract The Radiation Assessment Detector (RAD) on the Curiosity rover has been characterizing the Martian surface radiation field since 2012. The dose observed by RAD is influenced by a variety of factors, including an essential one, the terrain. After parking near Murray Buttes in September 2016 where it first detected a ∼5% decrease in dose rate ...

Chromosome‐scale genome assembly of the South American fruit fly, Anastrepha fraterculus sp.1

Insect Science, Volume 33, Issue 2, Page 640-664, April 2026.
Anastrepha fraterculus sp. 1 is a major fruit fly pest in Argentina, currently controlled through chemical treatments and traps. This study aims to enhance the genomic understanding of this species to support the development of sterile insect technique as well as the use of innovative technologies.

Winter‐active spiders (Clubiona) have a hyperactive antifreeze protein with a unique beta‐solenoid fold

The FEBS Journal, Volume 293, Issue 8, Page 2270-2290, April 2026.
Antifreeze proteins from winter‐active spiders were purified using their affinity for ice. After LC–MSMS characterization, corresponding transcripts were identified. The antifreeze protein folds as a β‐solenoid with a large flat ice‐binding site on one surface and can bind to ice crystals and prevent their growth at −4 °C.

New southern galaxies with active nuclei

The Astronomical Journal, 1987
A list of AGN candidates, identified from optical spectra taken as part of an ongoing redshift survey of southern galaxies, is presented. The identification, coordinates, morphological type, measured heliocentric radial velocity, and proposed emission type are given for the galaxies showing evidence of nonstellar nuclear activity.

Chlorinated Paracyclophanes: Composition Analysis and Direct Metal‐Free Alkylation with n‐BuLi

European Journal of Organic Chemistry, Volume 29, Issue 12, 23 March 2026.
A transition‐metal‐free alkylation of pseudo‐para dichloro[2.2]paracyclophane (Cl2‐PCP) is reported, utilizing the purified pseudo‐para isomer and n‐butyllithium (BuLi). Optimization with the chelating agent TMEDA and refluxing n‐heptane significantly boosted selectivity and reaction rate, providing the dialkylated product in 22% isolated yield.

Kinematics of Nuclei of Sc Galaxies [PDF]

Highlights of Astronomy, 1980
For a sample of 21 Sc galaxies with a wide range of luminosities, of radii, and of masses, W. K. Ford and I have obtained spectra and determined rotation curves. By their kinematical behavior in their central regions, the Sc’s can be separated into two groups. Some galaxies, generally small and of low luminosity, have shallow central velocity gradients,
