The Effect of Tip Design on Technological Performance During the Exploration of Earth, Lunar, and Martian Soil Environments

Journal of Field Robotics, Volume 43, Issue 1, Page 387-408, January 2026.
ABSTRACT This paper investigates the penetration performance of soil‐burrowing probes with different tip designs during shallow‐depth penetration in various media, including terrestrial soils (Hostun sand) and well‐characterized planetary soil simulants (LHS‐1 Lunar regolith simulant and MGS‐1 Martian regolith simulant).

Functionality Enhancement of Pullulan‐Based Composites for Food Packaging Applications

Comprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Contemporary research in food packaging is focused on developing sustainable alternatives to petroleum‐based materials. Pullulan, a microbial biopolymer traditionally employed as a food additive, is harnessing interest for food packaging applications due to its exceptional film‐forming ability, biodegradability, and nontoxic nature.

Mineral Weathering Experiments for Terrestrial Planetary Analogs in a Continuous‐Flow Reactor

Geofluids, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
Understanding the groundwater environments for ancient Mars and other terrestrial bodies is of great interest for evaluating their habitability. Here, we experimentally tested simulated aqueous alterations of two Mars simulants (variants of MGS‐1) using a continuous‐flow packed bed reactor, reacting with three ionic simulated groundwater analog ...

Oxychlorine Species on Mars: A Review

Reviews of Geophysics, Volume 63, Issue 4, December 2025.
Abstract Oxychlorine species (mainly perchlorate and chlorate) have been identified at multiple locations on the surface of Mars by both orbiter and in situ rovers. They have also been found in martian meteorites. Cl‐isotopes in meteoritic minerals suggest that an oxychlorine cycle has been operating on the martian surface for the last ∼4 billion years.

The Influence of Space Weathering on the Far‐Ultraviolet Reflectance of Apollo‐Era Soils

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 130, Issue 12, December 2025.
Abstract Building on our previous studies of the far‐ultraviolet (FUV) reflectance of Apollo soil 10084 and lunar soil simulants JSC‐1A and LMS‐1 (Gimar et al., 2022, https://doi.org/10.1029/2022je007508; Raut et al., 2018, https://doi.org/10.1029/2018je005567), we present new FUV results for Apollo soils 68501 and 71061. Heavily weathered soils (68501,
