Underestimation of Planetary Contraction Due To Obscuration by Surface Roughness: The Case of Mercury

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 53, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Estimating Mercury's radial contraction is key to understanding the planet's geodynamic evolution. Contraction has been inferred from mapped shortening structures, whose heterogeneous distribution contradicts the isotropic contraction expected from global cooling.

Spatial and Temporal Variation in Drivers of Saltmarsh Eco‐Geomorphic Evolution: Field Insights From the St. Lawrence Estuary, Canada

open access: yesEarth Surface Processes and Landforms, Volume 51, Issue 9, September 2026.
Field campaigns establish a novel hydro‐eco‐geomorphic database for St. Lawrence Estuary saltmarshes; foundations to predict ecosystem evolution in an understudied region. Documented spatial and temporal variability in vegetation traits, inundation dynamics and sediment supply warrants further investigation in saltmarsh modelling frameworks.

Testing Fifth Forces from the Galactic Dark Matter

open access: yesProceedings, 2019
Is there an unknown long-range force between dark matter (DM) and ordinary matters? When such a fifth force exists and in the case that it is ignored, the equivalence principle (EP) is violated apparently. The violation of EP was severely constrained by,

The Evolution of Autonomous Systems for Planetary Cave Exploration: A Review

open access: yesJournal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 6, Page 4094-4115, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The exploration of Subsurface Access Points (SAPs), such as lava tubes on the Moon and Mars, has gained significant interest due to their potential as stable environments shielded from surface radiation and temperature extremes. These sites are considered high‐value targets for detecting water and signs of ancient life, and assessing their ...

Vine Tendril‐Inspired Cold‐Programmable Shape‐Memory Polymer Composites Using Sugar Beet Pulp

open access: yesSmall, Volume 22, Issue 54, 25 September 2026.
Vine tendrils inspire a bio‐derived, cold‐programmable shape‐memory polymer composite (SMPC). Magnetically guided sugar beet pulp creates mesoscale heterogeneity within a glassy matrix, producing built‐in mechanical asymmetry for rapid, solvent‐free programming by simple stretching.

Lunar Degree-2 Tidal Love Number Determination Based on Combination of Four-way Radiometric Tracking and LLR Data

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
Lunar tidal Love numbers ( ${k}_{2}$ , ${h}_{2}$ , and ${l}_{2}$ ), critical for understanding lunar interior structures, are traditionally derived from methods such as lunar spacecraft radiometric tracking, Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR), and laser altimetry.
