Oxygen isotope thermometry and composition of aqueous fluids within the parent body of asteroid (101955) Bennu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 10, Page 2567-2591, October 2026.
Abstract We report on the petrography and oxygen isotopic compositions from in situ analyses of carbonates (Ca‐carbonate, dolomite, and Fe‐rich magnesite), magnetite, and apatite in particles from asteroid Bennu. Using oxygen isotope thermometry of Ca‐carbonate, dolomite, and magnetite, we estimated crystallization temperatures and the oxygen isotopic ...

Utopia Remembers: The Soviet Past in the Imagined Communist Future

open access: yesThe Russian Review, Volume 85, Issue 4, Page 478-494, October 2026.
Abstract After a twenty‐five‐year hiatus, the reappearance of utopian literature in 1957 prompted Soviet literary watchdogs to corral the subgenre into an ideologically‐acceptable mold. A key requirement was for future generations to be depicted as reverently commemorating the past.

Comparison of noble gas characteristics of lunar soil 61220 grain‐size fractions: Implications for exploration‐supportive volatile resources

open access: yesSoil Science Society of America Journal, Volume 90, Issue 5, September/October 2026.
Abstract This study examined the noble gas inventories of different grain size fractions of lunar soil 61220 as a proxy for solar wind‐implanted volatiles of in situ resource utilization (ISRU) interest (e.g., H2O and noble gases). Sample 61220 is representative of a “dry” highland regolith, comparable to those that may be sampled by missions exploring

Ferric Chloride: The Venusian Unknown UV Absorber?

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Near‐ultraviolet imaging of the planet Venus reveals inhomogeneous absorption features in the otherwise bright clouds. This absorption has been studied for nearly 100 years, but identification of the near‐UV absorber remains one of the largest open questions in Venusian research.

Inside the Fire Plume Chemical Interactions: A Review on Key Processes and Future Directions

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 3, September 2026.
Abstract Fire plumes are rising columns of heated air masses, consisting of gaseous and particulate matter generated by combustion, affecting air quality, climate and public health. The chemical species released undergo secondary reactions and participate in chemical and physical interactions, altering the properties of the fire plume.

Microscale Hyperspectral Mapping of a Kilometer of Mantle Rocks: Insights Into Low‐Temperature Serpentinization Systems From the Oman Drilling Program Cores

open access: yesJournal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, Volume 131, Issue 9, September 2026.
Abstract Characterizing products of water‐rock interactions in low‐temperature serpentinization of ultramafic rock is key to reconstructing fluid alteration histories of the crust and identifying subsurface habitable environments. We analyzed terrestrial peridotites from the Samail ophiolite using visible to near‐infrared (VNIR‐SWIR) microimaging ...

Different Frontier, Same Legal Script? On the Course of Replicating Earth's Patterns in Space

open access: yesThe Modern Law Review, Volume 89, Issue 5, Page 723-759, September 2026.
As states and private actors expand their activities in outer space, the international legal framework governing this domain risks extending longstanding structures of global inequality beyond Earth. This article examines how international space law, shaped by a broader disciplinary pattern of reactive legal development, is poised to reproduce ...

The Great Cosmic Silence: What Does the Fermi Paradox Tell About the Future of Humanity?

open access: yesGlobal Policy, Volume 17, Issue 4, Page 553-565, September 2026.
ABSTRACT This article examines how institutional time horizons shape the long‐term survival prospects of human technological civilisation. While research on global catastrophic and existential risks has expanded, the temporal structures of political‐economic institutions remain underexamined.

Microstructural evidence for multiple generations of sulfide precipitation and impact‐induced thermal alteration under acidic conditions on Asteroid Ryugu

open access: yesMeteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 9, Page 2201-2217, September 2026.
Abstract Here we report on the microstructure and chemistry of sulfide minerals returned from asteroid (162173) Ryugu. We identify a unique sulfide population in particle A0016 composed of violarite (FeNi2S4), pyrite (FeS2), chalcopyrite (CuFeS2), pyrrhotite (Fe1‐xS), and pentlandite ([Fe,Ni]9S8).
