A proposal of lunar long duration method (Fabrication of lunar environment simulator and experimental validation)

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2014
A lunar long duration method which utilizes a characteristic of a very low thermal conductivity of lunar regolith has been proposed. The principle of this method is to put heater in desired depth of the regolith and heat up the regolith layer during ...

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.
