Interstellar Dust Production, Destruction and Effects of Dust Depletion in Galaxies

open access: yesGalaxies
Despite the small mass fraction typically observed for the interstellar medium, dust plays a significant role as a key component of galaxies, affecting a wide range of properties. This review focuses specifically on how dust grains influence interstellar

Interstellar Molecules [PDF]

open access: yes, 1978
Observations of the spectral lines of a great many interstellar molecules has made it possible for radio astronomers to construct a scenario for the formation of ...

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 ...

Features of Chemical-Element Abundances in Open Star Clusters of the Galaxy

open access: yesOpen Astronomy, 2016
On the basis of the authors’ compiled catalog containing spectroscopic abundances of 14 chemical elements for 90 open star clusters of the Galaxy, we show that in the young clusters not only barium but also three other studied elements of slow neutron ...

Spaceborne and spaceborn: Physiological aspects of pregnancy and birth during interplanetary flight

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, Volume 111, Issue 9, Page 4015-4040, 1 September 2026.
Abstract Crewed interplanetary return missions that are on the planning horizon will take years, more than enough time for initiation and completion of a pregnancy. Pregnancy is viewed as a sequence of processes – fertilization, blastocyst formation, implantation, gastrulation, placentation, organogenesis, gross morphogenesis, birth and neonatal ...

Predicting peculiar interstellar extinction from gaseous abundances [PDF]

open access: yes, 1989
Molecular and atomic abundances are examined for 19 lines of sight through dense clouds, each with a peculiar selective extinction curve. The interstellar clouds in the present study appear to fall into two distinct categories: CN-rich, with relatively ...

Negotiating in a Foreign Land: Understanding the Curious Interactions Between Intracellular Mitochondria and Internalized Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 August 2026.
Therapeutic nano‐drug delivery systems interact with cellular mitochondria in a multitude of ways. While the complexity of such interactions disrupts the mitochondrial electron transport chain and increases reactive oxygen species production, thereby contributing to nanoparticle toxicity, they also present unique theranostic opportunities in diseases ...

An Instrument for Isomer‐Specific Action Spectroscopy of Charged Clusters: Electronic Spectra of C 14 + and Ca@C 60 +

open access: yesChemistry–Methods, Volume 6, Issue 8, August 2026.
Disentangling spectral congestion of a mixture of isomers in gas‐phase spectroscopy is critical. We present an instrument combining ion mobility, mass spectrometry, and spectroscopy in a cryogenic 3D Paul trap to investigate the isomer‐specific charged clusters and illustrate its performance with the electronic spectra of C14+ and Ca@C60+. Interpreting

Strongly Depleted Methanol and Hypervolatiles in Comet C/2021 A1 (Leonard): Signatures of Interstellar Chemistry?

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal, 2023
We measured the chemical composition of comet C/2021 A1 (Leonard) using the long-slit echelle grating spectrograph iSHELL/IRTF on 2021 December 20 and on 2022 January 8 and 9.

Evaluating maturity of organic matter in hydrated C1 and CM‐like clasts and a dehydrated clast within a polymict eucrite and a howardite

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 8, Page 1965-1993, August 2026.
Abstract Volatile‐rich xenolithic clasts in different types of brecciated meteorites represent unique pristine solar system material. This study investigates the maturity and thermal history of organic matter using Raman spectroscopy and aqueous alteration effects using infrared spectroscopy in the matrix of 15 volatile‐rich clasts (C1 and CM‐like ...
