First 20 Years of Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry as the Mainstream Analytical Technique
Mass Spectrometry Reviews, Volume 45, Issue 6, Page 1064-1086, November/December 2026.ABSTRACT This review traces the first 20 years of Orbitrap mass spectrometry as a mainstream high‑resolution and accurate‑mass (HR/AM) technology. It outlines the historical development of the Orbitrap analyzer, the evolution of major instrument families, and the key technological innovations that enabled its widespread adoption. Particular emphasis is

Image Encoding With Blipped Gradients in an Echo Train
Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 96, Issue 5, Page 2530-2538, November 2026.ABSTRACT Purpose An MRI scanner was designed and built to encode k‐space points in the spin echoes occurring between 180∘ pulses in an echo train by using blipped B0 gradient pulses applied just prior to those spin echoes. Methods The proposed MRI scanner is a modification of an original design that used TRansmit Array Spatial Encoding (TRASE), a built‐

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, Volume 50, Issue 16, Page 5701-5711, November 2026.ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

Tectonics on Early Earth Driven by Earth's Changing Shape During Tidal Recession of the Moon
Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract Few fragments of Earth's earliest crust have survived, and so this formative period of our planet's history is shrouded in mystery. To leverage the limited data available, it is important to understand all the processes that could have shaped our young planet.

Sulfidation Reaction Mechanisms of Olivine and Diopside at Mercury's Reducing Conditions
Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 11, November 2026.Abstract The surface of Mercury contains elevated amounts of sulfur of up to 4 wt.%. Volcanic degassing of S from the interior of the planet could have initiated sulfidation reactions between the degassed S and surface materials in the planet's past, leading to the observed surface S enrichment.
