Ferric Chloride: The Venusian Unknown UV Absorber?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Near‐ultraviolet imaging of the planet Venus reveals inhomogeneous absorption features in the otherwise bright clouds. This absorption has been studied for nearly 100 years, but identification of the near‐UV absorber remains one of the largest open questions in Venusian research.

Impacts of the GDS 2018 Global Dust Storm on Martian Ionosphere‐Thermosphere Coupling via Atmospheric Tides

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Space Physics, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract In this study, we investigate the ionospheric and thermospheric responses to the 2018 Mars global dust storm (GDS 2018) by examining atmosphere–ionosphere coupling through tidal structures. Using Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN Neutral Gas and Ion Mass Spectrometer observations, we analyze tidal amplitudes, phases, and inter‐species ...

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?

open access: yesGlobal Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 553-565, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.

Bekenstein’s Entropy Bound-Particle Horizon Approach to Avoid the Cosmological Singularity

open access: yesEntropy, 2020
The cosmological singularity of infinite density, temperature, and spacetime curvature is the classical limit of Friedmann’s general relativity solutions extrapolated to the origin of the standard model of cosmology.

Anselm's Temporal‐Ontological Proof

open access: yesNoûs, Volume 60, Issue 3, Page 645-660, September 2026.
ABSTRACT In his Reply to Gaunilo, Anselm presented two additional arguments for the existence of God beyond those that appear in the Proslogion. In “The Logical Structure of Anselm's Argument,” Robert M. Adams isolates each. One, he develops into a modal ontological argument along the lines of other 20th century ontological arguments (e.g., those of ...

Probing time orientability of spacetime

open access: yesEuropean Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields, 2023
In general relativity, cosmology and quantum field theory, spacetime is assumed to be an orientable manifold endowed with a Lorentz metric that makes it spatially and temporally orientable.

Aharonov–Bohm Effect for Cooper Pairs in Kerr Spacetime: Gravitomagnetic Phase Shifts From Frame Dragging

open access: yesAnnalen der Physik, Volume 538, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity remains a central problem in fundamental physics. Here, we study the gravitomagnetic Aharonov–Bohm (AB) effect for Cooper pairs in Kerr spacetime. Frame‐dragging by a rotating black hole (BH) generates an effective vector potential through the off‐diagonal metric term gtϕ$g_{t\phi }$,

Brane-World Gravity

open access: yesLiving Reviews in Relativity, 2004
The observable universe could be a 1+3-surface (the "brane") embedded in a 1+3+$d$-dimensional spacetime (the "bulk"), with Standard Model particles and fields trapped on the brane while gravity is free to access the bulk.

The ORCA‐TWIN qCMOS Experiment I. Science Case and Commissioning at Calar Alto Observatory

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 347, Issue 7, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We describe a pilot study to explore a new generation of fast and low noise CMOS image sensors for time domain astronomy, using two remote telescopes with a baseline of 1635 km. The experiment involves direct imaging with novel qCMOS image sensor technology that combines fast readout with sub‐electron readout noise.
