Bidirectional Energy Transfer via Simultaneous Wave‐Particle Resonances in Inhomogeneous Space Plasmas

open access: yesAGU Advances, Volume 7, Issue 4, August 2026.
Abstract Wave‐particle resonance is a key mechanism for energy transfer in collisionless plasmas with important implications for wave excitation and particle acceleration. Cyclotron resonance occurs when a particle's gyromotion synchronizes with the wave fields, with their interactions usually describable by quasilinear diffusion or nonlinear trapping.

Plasma-based conversion of martian atmosphere into life-sustaining chemicals: The benefits of utilizing martian ambient pressure

open access: yesJournal of CO2 Utilization
We explored the potential of plasma-based In-Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) for Mars through the conversion of Martian atmosphere (∼96% CO2, 2% N2, and 2% Ar) into life-sustaining chemicals.

Comparison of Remotely‐Sensed Orbital and Rover‐Based In Situ Surface Orientation Analyses in Jezero Crater, Mars

open access: yesEarth and Space Science, Volume 13, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Satellite data have been used to estimate the three‐dimensional orientation of features on Mars inferred to be bedding planes to support interpretations of deposit characteristics and depositional environments. Opportunities to ground‐truth these estimates and to understand the geologic information recorded by surfaces measured from orbit are ...

Mars Alteration on Earth: A Spectroscopic Study of Hydrated Silica and Biomarker Preservation in La Palma Lava Tubes

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Volcanic tubes provide stable environments where unique mineralogical assemblages can form and be preserved, making them valuable terrestrial analogs for Martian studies. This work investigates tree‐like structures within two lava tubes on La Palma Island (Canary Islands, Spain) through a comprehensive geochemical and mineralogical ...

The Impact of Data Resolution on Planetary Compressional Structure Analysis

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Planetary studies of compressional structures are fundamental for understanding the tectonics and thermal evolution of planetary bodies. Compressional features are commonly characterized by their morphology, which in turn is strongly dependent on the spatial resolution of topographic data.

Coupling Seismic, Gravity and Magnetic Surveys for the Investigation of Planetary Lava Tubes: A Terrestrial Analog Case Study in Lanzarote (Spain)

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Lava tubes are subsurface volcanic conduits formed during effusive basaltic eruptions and are considered key targets for planetary exploration. Orbital remote sensing on the Moon and Mars has identified numerous collapse pits interpreted as possible surface expressions of underlying lava tube systems. However, the limited resolution of current

Currents in the Martian Ionosphere: Cases Without Strong Crustal Magnetic Fields

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The Martian ionosphere hosts complex current systems driven both by solar wind interactions and neutral wind dynamo processes. While the global patterns of these current systems have been statistically examined, their detailed structures and orientations remain poorly constrained.

Rheology and Structure of Fe‐Mg‐Ca Enriched Silicate Melt: Benchmarking Viscosity Models for an Exotic Planetary Composition

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Silicate melt viscosity plays a pivotal role in the evolution of rocky bodies within the Solar System, exerting first‐order control on mantle differentiation and stratification, while dictating the metal‐silicate separation and the subsequent volcanic activity.

Minerals in Iron and Titanium Skeletal Textures in Nakhlites MIL 090030, MIL 090136, MIL 090032, and MIL 03346: Comparative Analysis With Terrestrial Analogues From Canary Islands, Spain

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract The presence of minor minerals is a key factor distinguishing meteorite types, as they provide valuable insights into the formation processes, surface conditions, and evolutionary history of their parent bodies. In Martian nakhlites, one of the most distinctive minor phases is iron‐titanium oxides forming characteristic skeletal textures ...
