Martian‑Regolith Simulant Confined Nanogenerators for Wireless Tactile Sensing for Human‐Machine Interface

open access: yesSmall, EarlyView.
A Martian regolith‐simulant/PDMS triboelectric nanogenerator is developed as an ISRU‐inspired, self‐powered tactile sensor for wireless human–machine interface applications. ABSTRACT Achieving a sustainable energy system for space missions remains challenging due to the continued reliance on Earth‐supplied materials.

Soil wetting and drying processes influence stone artefact distribution in clay‐rich soils: A case study from Middle Gidley Island in Murujuga, northwest Western Australia

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Soils that contain swelling clay minerals (e.g., montmorillonite) expand and contract during wetting and drying, causing movement within the soil profile. This process, known as argilliturbation, can alter artefact distributions, destroy stratigraphy and complicate the interpretation of archaeological deposits.

The Missing Magmas of MOR: Insights From Phase Equilibrium Experiments on Plagioclase Ultraphyric Basalts

open access: yesGeochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems, 2022
Plagioclase ultraphyric basalts (PUBs) are a class of mid‐ocean ridge (MOR) lavas found in a variety of ocean floor environments, are characterized by abundant (15–40 volume %) plagioclase megacrysts and a diverse trace element and isotopic signature ...

The Material Basis of 18th‐Century Meissen Porcelain

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the summer of 1708, the quest for making hard‐paste porcelain from Saxonian clay and other mineral resources succeeded. This was achieved by applying as its essential ingredient newly discovered pure kaolin from Heidelsberg near Aue, western Saxon Ore Mountains.

A Newly Discovered Tablet‐Making Facility in Nineveh: Insights From Scientific Analysis

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper addresses the question of tablet technology in the Neo‐Assyrian capital city of Nineveh. Recent excavations in the lower town of Nineveh by the Iraqi–Italian Archaeological Expedition uncovered an exceptional assemblage of more than 200 tablets from an elite residence that appears to have included a scriptorium.

Paragenetic relations of minerals in the Snezhnoye ruby deposit, Muzkol-Rangkul anticlinorium, Central Pamir

open access: yesИзвестия высших учебных заведений: Геология и разведка
Background. The mineral association of ruby in the Snezhnoye deposit is represented by 7 rock-forming and 19 accessory minerals. Here, all minerals vary in their composition due to isomorphism.

Neural Networks and Multivariate Analysis Based on Geochemical Data to Determine Stone Provenance From Ancient Calabrian Quarries (Southern Italy)

open access: yesArchaeometry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study shows an innovative approach to determine the origin of some Calabrian rocks quarried used in ancient times. Twenty‐five quarries, distributed in all the Calabrian provinces (Southern Italy), were studied and sampled. Ten samples were taken from each quarry, for a total of 250 samples.
