Design and Motion Modeling of a Small-Scale Lunar Jumping Robot

Shanghai Jiaotong Daxue xuebao
Jumping is a viable form of locomotion for lunar surface exploration. However, due to the limited research on the coupling between jumping robots and the lunar surface, applying jumping robots for lunar surface detection remains challenging.

Climate‐related exposures and seizures in children: A systematic review

Epilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Climate‐related exposures, including air pollution, temperature extremes, humidity, and atmospheric conditions, are increasingly recognized as potential seizure triggers. As climate change intensifies, understanding the environmental contributors to pediatric seizure risk has important implications for anticipatory guidance and ...

Computational Analysis of the Vibrational Response of Lunar Regolith Made of Nonspherical Grains

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Vibration‐based systems have shown that appropriately oriented and tuned mechanical oscillations can disrupt regolith interlocking and promote flow. Building on this evidence, the present study investigates vibration‐controlled granular discharge as a potential ISRU (In Situ Resource Utilization) strategy, with the aim of supporting ...

An Open Database of Lunar Regolith and Simulants Properties

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Lunar regolith, the layer of unconsolidated material covering the Moon's surface, is central to the science and technology developed for the Moon, notably related to in‐situ science investigations, resource utilization, surface infrastructure, and mobility systems.

Interplanetary frontiers: terraforming from an invasion science perspective

Oikos, EarlyView.
The pursuit of a multi‐planetary existence represents one of humanity's greatest frontiers. If applied justly, it offers an opportunity to extend its civilization's lifespan amid escalating sustainability crises on Earth. One approach increasingly gaining traction is terraforming, a hitherto theoretical ecological and evolutionary experiment revolving ...

Hexapod Locomotion Across Structured and Unstructured Terrains: A Data‐Driven Review of Modeling, Control, and Validation

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The design of a hexapod is complex and requires integration between kinematic models, control systems, and sensing. Existing literature has reviewed these sub‐systems in isolation. Since 2021, there has been no review of the field despite significant advancements in soft soil, lunar traversal, and artificial intelligence.

Climate‐Driven Mangrove Dieback and Recovery: A Case Study in Albert and Leichhardt Rivers, Australia

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Cycles of dieback and recovery drove mangrove forest dynamics at the Albert and Leichhardt Rivers (Gulf of Carpentaria, Queensland, Australia) over 36 years (1987–2023). Landward margins were the most affected by reduced tidal inundation when the alignment of low lunar declination suppressed tidal range and extreme El Niño phases lowered mean sea level.

Large‐Scale Applications of Plasma Technologies: Progresses and Challenges

High Voltage, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Plasma technologies convert electrical power into energetic electrons, ions, reactive species, radiation and heat, thereby breaking through the bottleneck of purely thermal or chemical routes and bringing impressive changes to our world. This roadmap reviews the progress and challenges of plasma technologies from a large‐scale and application ...

The Momentum of ‘Developed’: Bodies of Water, Aging Bodies and Malta's Interventions at the UN

History, EarlyView.
Abstract Histories of major powers continue to shape how many scholars conceptualize internationalism. By focusing on Malta's interventions at the UN challenges, this article challenges such narrative. In particular, it examines Arvid Pardo's 1967 petition that the seabed be reconceived and protected as the ‘common heritage of mankind’ and Vincent ...
