Distribution of Dune Landform on Mars

Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2022
Dune landforms are widely distributed on Mars and contain abundant information about the Martian atmosphere and sedimentary environment. At present, the understanding of Martian dunes and their environmental significance still needs to be further ...

Extraction of polar and nonpolar biomarkers from the martian soil using aqueous surfactant solutions [PDF]

, 2012
The Life Marker Chip intends to use an aqueous surfactant solution to extract both polar AND nonpolar biomarkers from the martian soil for transport to an antibody-based detection system. Currently, a solution of 1.5 g l-1 polysorbate 80 in 20:80 (vol:

Detecting life on Mars and the life marker chip : antibody assays for detecting organic molecules in liquid extracts of Martian samples [PDF]

, 2012
The Life Marker Chip instrument, which has been selected to fly as part of the 2018 ExoMars rover mission payload, aims to detect up to 25 organic molecules in martian rocks and regolith, as markers of extant life, extinct life, meteoritic in-fall and ...

Evolution of the Martian Atmosphere [PDF]

Icarus, 1994
Carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and the nonradiogenic and radiogenic noble gases are tracked from primordial inventories to their present states in a revised model of atmospheric evolution on Mars. Elemental and isotopic abundances evolve by hydrodynamic escape, impact erosion, outgassing, sputtering, photochemical escape of nitrogen, and carbonate formation

Graded Metallopolymer Structures with Shape‐Memory Abilities via DLP‐Based 3D‐Printing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
This study presents the digital light processing (DLP) based 3D printing of graded metallopolymers featuring shape‐memory abilities. The permanent shape can be recovered in two distinct steps with excellent rates. The obtained graded prints range from simple rod‐like structures to complex hollow materials.

Spontaneous Cyclic Levitation of Glycerol‐Water Droplets at Low Pressures

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Under low pressure, a minute glycerol addition transforms the chaotic dynamics of freezing water droplets into cyclic levitation. Freeze‐concentration preserves liquid pathways that relax expansion‐induced stress, while freezing point depression weakens asymmetric vaporization recoil.

Modelling the martian atmosphere [PDF]

Astronomy and Geophysics, 2003
Mars general circulation models, used to study the atmosphere of Mars, have developed almost in parallel with terrestrial weather and climate models. These models are now being confronted with a large amount of new spacecraft data, which is allowing the models to be validated more rigorously. This paper briefly reviews the current state of Mars models,

I. Variability of the Outgoing Thermal IR Spectra and Its Application in GCM Validation. II. The Detection of Cloud/Aerosol in the Outgoing Thermal IR Spectra [PDF]

, 2004
The theme of this thesis is studying the outgoing thermal IR spectra of Earth and Mars. It is divided into two parts: the first part (Chapters 1-4) is focused on the variability seen in the outgoing thermal IR spectra and its application in validating ...
