Habitability of Mars: How Welcoming Are the Surface and Subsurface to Life on the Red Planet?

open access: yesGeosciences, 2019
Mars is a planet of great interest in the search for signatures of past or present life beyond Earth. The years of research, and more advanced instrumentation, have yielded a lot of evidence which may be considered by the scientific community as proof of

Habits of the Hedgehog [PDF]

open access: yesNature, 1921
IN NATURE of May 19 last (pp. 375–76) you were good enough to notice at length my paper on “The Ancient Legend as to the Hedgehog carrying Fruit upon its Spines,“ published by the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society (Memoirs, vol. 63, No. 2). That paper was written with a view to elicit further evidence for or against the truth of the legend,

On the quantification of habitability: current approaches

open access: yes, 2019
In this chapter, we outline general ideas to quantify habitability, starting with a general abiogenesis–biogenesis conceptual model. We connect this model with the approach of the astrobiological school of quantitative habitability, specifically with ...

New Dynamical State and Habitability of the HD 45364 Planetary System

open access: yes, 2022
Planetary systems with multiple giant planets provide important opportunities to study planetary formation and evolution. The HD 45364 system hosts two giant planets that reside within the Habitable Zone (HZ) of their host star and was the first system ...

A Terminology and Quantitative Framework for Assessing the Habitability of Solar System and Extraterrestrial Worlds

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
The search for extraterrestrial life in the solar system and beyond is a key science driver in astrobiology, planetary science, and astrophysics. A critical step is the identification and characterization of potential habitats, both to guide the search ...

Nanostructured Optical Superabsorbers from Carbon Nanotube Forest for Heat Management Using Environmental Blackbody Radiation from the Visible to Mid‐Infrared

open access: yesENERGY &ENVIRONMENTAL MATERIALS, EarlyView.
Our computational model of the optical absorption from multiwalled carbon nanotubes suggests the optical absorption depends strongly on the in‐plane electrical conductivity, and weakly on the through‐plane conductivity. Such strong absorption enables solar‐to‐thermal conversion for heat scavenging in cold climates and radiative cooling in hot climates,
