Sintering of ceramics for clay in situ resource utilization on Mars

Open Ceramics, 2020
The sintering of wet processed Mars global simulant green bodies is explored. Green bodies shaped using slip casting, throwing on a potter’s wheel and additive manufacturing, including material extrusion (robocasting) and layerwise slurry deposition (LSD)

Investigating the microwave heating behaviour of lunar soil simulant JSC-1A at different input powers

Scientific Reports, 2021
For a sustainable human presence on the Moon, it is critical to develop technologies that could utilise the locally available resources (a.k.a. in situ resource utilisation or ISRU) for habitat construction.

Additive manufacturing of metallic glass from powder in space

npj Microgravity, 2023
Additive manufacturing of metals – and in particular building with laser-based powder bed fusion – is highly flexible and allows high-resolution features and feedstock savings. Meanwhile, though space stations in low Earth orbit are established, a set of

Uncatalyzed Guanosine Phosphorylation under Potentially Prebiotic Conditions

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Pyrophosphate acts as phosphorylating agent of guanosine under simple wet‐dry cycles without condensing agent and inorganic catalysts to afford cyclic guanosine monophosphate derivatives useful for oligomerization in prebiotic processes. ABSTRACT The phosphorylation of nucleosides and their subsequent polymerization are key issues in the study of the ...
