Bio‐Inspired Swarm Robotics Design for Mine Automation

Natural Sciences, Volume 6, Issue 2, April 2026.
Ants demonstrate tandem running for cooperative haulage, and honeybees use memory‐based routes between hive and flowers. These behaviours inspire autonomous haulage robots in open‐pit mines to achieve efficient scan‐plan‐retrieve ore transport, replacing small haulage robots with large mining trucks.

Were There Tides on Ancient Mars?

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Tides are a key component in the Earth system as they help regulate climate and sustain life. Mars very likely had a surface ocean around 4–3 billion years ago. The NASA Curiosity Rover and the CNSA Zhurong Rover were sent to Gale Crater and the Vastitas Borealis Formation (VBF) on Mars to explore the surface and search for evidence of the ...

Evaluating Seismic Ambient Noise Techniques for Imaging Lava Tubes on the Moon

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Detecting and characterizing lava tubes is a key objective of upcoming lunar missions. While evidence for their presence exists, their precise dimensions and depths remain uncertain. This study evaluates the potential of seismic ambient noise methods, such as seismic interferometry, H/V spectral ratios, distributed acoustic sensing (DAS), and ...

Lunar Lander Landing Site Decision in Low-Fuel Case

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2016
This paper deals with lunar landing site decision algorithms for the case when the lunar lander is not able to reach the original landing site. A new landing site which minimizes the fuel consumption of the lunar rover is determined from landing site ...

Mercury's Tectonic and Geodynamic History: 2. Contribution of Membrane–Flexural Strains to the Tectonic Record

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 4, April 2026.
Abstract Previous analyses of Mercury's tectonic record have arrived at widely varying amounts of global contraction. Contraction also varies spatially, with some regions displaying a near‐zero record of contraction. Here, we investigate the contribution of membrane–flexural strain from lithosphere loading to the tectonic record.

Petrography and mineral chemistry of Northeast Africa 053—A remnant of Martian crystal mush

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 4, Page 621-643, April 2026.
Abstract In Earth's igneous systems, crystal mushes, crystal‐rich frameworks permeated by silicate melt, represent a common and fundamental stage in the evolution of magma bodies. However, whether crystal mushes occur within Martian igneous systems and play a comparable role is unknown. Here, we present a comprehensive petrography and mineral chemistry
