Abstract Plutonium was discovered and first synthesized in the early 1940's. Several isotopes of plutonium are used in nuclear technologies, 238Pu for heat generation and 239Pu for energy production and weapons. Both isotopes emit alpha particles, which pose a significant radiation hazard when incorporated into the body.

Abstract The Solar, Anomalous, and Magnetospheric Explorer (SAMPEX) mission launched in July 1992 was the first NASA “Small Explorer” project. It had the goal to show how space missions could be developed much more rapidly than had become the situation in the 1980s and 1990s.

Abstract Dielectric anisotropy in ice alters the propagation of polarized radio waves, so polarimetric radar sounding can be used to survey anisotropic properties of ice masses. Ice anisotropy is either intrinsic, associated with ice‐crystal orientation fabric (COF), or extrinsic, associated with material heterogeneity, such as bubbles, fractures, and ...

Oxychlorine Species on Mars: A Review
Abstract Oxychlorine species (mainly perchlorate and chlorate) have been identified at multiple locations on the surface of Mars by both orbiter and in situ rovers. They have also been found in martian meteorites. Cl‐isotopes in meteoritic minerals suggest that an oxychlorine cycle has been operating on the martian surface for the last ∼4 billion years.

DMSO solvates of tert‐butylcalix[6]arene and related multisolvent structures
This study highlights how solvent properties, host–guest interaction energies and packing preferences govern the solid‐state organization of tert‐butylcalix[6]arene, a macrocycle of importance in separation, molecular recognition and supramolecular chemistry.tert‐Butylcalix[6]arene (TBC6) exhibits a rich crystal energy landscape, with structural ...

ABSTRACT The onset of the global COVID‐19 pandemic created an urgent need for therapeutic monoclonal antibody (mAb) development, while the rapid mutation of the SARS‐CoV‐2 virus and emergence of new variants presented a moving target for validation of efficacy. Since it is virtually impossible to conduct randomized controlled trials in the context of a

ABSTRACT Population declines may have long‐term genetic consequences, including genetic erosion and inbreeding depression, which could affect species' evolutionary potential and increase their risk of extinction. Small populations are more vulnerable to genetic threats than common species, but even species with large populations can also be at risk of ...

Exploring the Radiation Damage of Vacancy‐Ordered Double Perovskites, ((NH4)(1−x)FAx)2SnBr6
Incident X‐ray photons hν on a newly reported vacancy‐ordered double perovskite FA2SnBr6 results in damage of the compound. This is seen over increasing X‐ray dose using X‐ray photoelectron spectroscopy. Degradation studies of the ASnX3 perovskites to the A2SnX6 vacancy‐ordered double perovskite form have been well researched, but little is known about

New Arabic Records From Cairo on Supernovae 1181 and 1006
ABSTRACT The remnant of the historical supernova SN 1181 is under discussion: While the previously suggested G130.7+3.1 (3C58) appears too old (3000–5000 year), the unusual star IRAS00500+6713 with a surrounding nebula (Pa‐30) has an expansion age not inconsistent with a SN Iax explosion in ad 1181 under the assumption that neither acceleration nor ...

Effect of Background Magnetic Field on Ion Weibel Instability With High‐Intensity Short‐Pulse Lasers
ABSTRACT The effect of finite background magnetic field on magnetic field amplification by Weibel instability using high‐intensity short‐pulse lasers is investigated. We consider Weibel instability for counter‐streaming sub‐relativistic plasma flows generated by shooting pure carbon targets with short‐pulse lasers.
