The Near-infrared Extinction Law at High and Low Galactic Latitudes
The Astrophysical JournalThe Milky Way dust extinction curve in the near-infrared (NIR) follows a power-law form, but the value of the slope, β _NIR , is debated. Systematic variations in the slope of the Milky Way UV extinction curve are known to be correlated with variations ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.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 ...

Interstellar Silicon Depletion and the Ultraviolet Extinction [PDF]
, 2017 Spinning small silicate grains were recently invoked to account for the Galactic foreground anomalous microwave emission. These grains, if present, will absorb starlight in the far ultraviolet (UV).

Dust evolution, a global view: II. Top-down branching, nanoparticle fragmentation and the mystery of the diffuse interstellar band carriers [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2016 The origin of the diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs), one of the longest-standing mysteries of the interstellar medium (ISM), is explored within the framework of The Heterogeneous dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids (THEMIS). The likely nature of

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.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 interstellar extinction to V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's object) [PDF]
, 2002 We present an 8–13$~\mu$m spectrum of V4334 Sgr (Sakurai's object), which shows clear evidence for the presence of a silicate absorption feature at 9.7$~\mu$m.

The Astrophysical Journal LettersThe interstellar extinction law is important for interpreting observations and inferring the properties of interstellar dust grains. Based on the 993 prism/CLEAR spectra from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), we investigate the 0.6–5.3 μ m ...

Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space
The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?
Global Policy, EarlyView.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.

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, EarlyView.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 ...
