Mountain Degradation Mechanisms on Io Based on Geologic Mapping of the Cocytus Montes Region From JunoCam Imagery

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Periodic high‐resolution imagery of Io is essential for understanding its surface evolution, from volcanic eruptions to tectonic deformation to large‐scale mass wasting. Juno flybys in 2023 and 2024 obtained imagery of the surface with the JunoCam imager at 1.8 km/pixel spatial resolution, comparable to global observations from the Galileo ...

An Analysis of the Exposure History of Apollo 17 Soils: Exploring Relationships Between Lunar Soil Maturity Indices

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Analysis of space weathering features in lunar regolith using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) allows researchers to characterize the surface exposure timescale of individual grains from the Moon. TEM analysis of regolith grains from Apollo 17 scoop samples, collected from five different locations in the Taurus‐Littrow Valley (TLV), each

Construction of Sampling Disturbance Model of Lunar Surface

Aerospace
This study establishes a dynamic evolution model of the physical and mechanical properties of lunar simulant as a function of sampling-induced disturbance on the lunar surface, aiming to eliminate design errors in sampling missions caused by neglecting ...

Simulations of Radiological Dose Quantities in Astronauts During Solar Energetic Particle Events Across Modern Space History

Space Weather, Volume 24, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Solar Particle Events (SPEs) represent one of the most significant hazards to future crewed space missions. Accurate assessment of radiation doses received by astronauts during these events is essential for determining the shielding requirements in spacecraft and off‐planet shelter design.

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.

A Study of Lunar Regolith Obtained during the Apollo and Luna Space Programs Based on Principal Component Analysis

Aerospace
In this study, a modern principal component analysis (PCA) of the chemical properties of lunar soils was conducted. American and Soviet results acquired during the Apollo and Luna missions, respectively, were analyzed and compared.

Artificial light alters spatial and temporal habitat use by a crepuscular aerial insectivore

Ibis, Volume 168, Issue 1, Page 308-328, January 2026.
Artificial light is increasing worldwide, and has biological effects from molecular to ecosystem levels, which may be particularly severe for crepuscular and nocturnal animals. We investigated how artificial light affected spatial and temporal patterns of habitat use by Common Nighthawks Chordeiles minor in the southern Grassland and northern Boreal ...

Textural and geochemical diversity of impact melt rock clasts in Apollo 16 sample 67015: Implications for the provenance of impact ejecta in the lunar highlands

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 39-63, January 2026.
Abstract Apollo sample 67015 has been classified as a fragmental breccia comprised of highlands‐type clasts and is proposed to be the most complex Apollo 16 sample. 67015 is dominated by impact melt rock clasts that display a variety of textures, which have been previously interpreted to be indicative of multiple impact events.

Diatom-driven activation of in-situ lunar resource utilization for space farming

Biogeotechnics
In this study, we demonstrate that diatoms, through their bioweathering process, can enhance the properties of lunar soil, thereby facilitating the cultivation of crops.
