The Structure of Exoplanets

, 2013
The hundreds of exoplanets that have been discovered in the past two decades offer a new perspective on planetary structure. Instead of being the archetypal examples of planets, those of our Solar System are merely possible outcomes of planetary system ...

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Magnetic Scaling Laws for the Atmospheres of Hot Giant Exoplanets

, 2011
We present scaling laws for advection, radiation, magnetic drag and ohmic dissipation in the atmospheres of hot giant exoplanets. In the limit of weak thermal ionization, ohmic dissipation increases with the planetary equilibrium temperature (T_eq ...

Planetary interiors

Eos, Transactions American Geophysical Union, 1971
Most publications on planetary interiors in the last 4 years have dealt with the moon, and the most popular topic has been the interpretation of lunar mascons (the nature and discovery of mascons are covered in the review ‘Selenodesy and Planetary Geodesy’ by W. M. Kaula).

High‐Entropy Alloy Design Toward Cobalt Substitution for High Hardness and Low Wear Rate Using X–Cr–Fe–Mn–Ni System

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
This study explores the replacement of cobalt using the high‐entropy alloy design strategy for wear‐resistant components operating at high temperatures. Starting from the Cantor alloy, cobalt is substituted with Cu, Al, V, or Mo. Metallurgical and tribological analyses reveal that aluminum, vanadium, and molybdenum effectively strengthen the developed ...

Improving Porosity Calculation Methods and Proposing a New Model Universally Applicable to Large- and Medium-sized Planetary Objects

The Astrophysical Journal
Our work was aimed at the improvement of two main already existing methods of porosity calculation on a planetary scale in order to expand these methods to be applicable to exoplanetary interiors. In addition to implementing some improvements in the used

Influence of Sample Preparation and Processing Procedures on the Thermal Diffusivity of MgO‐C Refractories

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
The thermal diffusivity of MgO‐C refractories is highly sensitive to sample preparation and processing procedures. In this article, the effects of coking sequence, machining conditions, structural inhomogeneity, and graphite coating application on measurements using laser flash apparatus are systematically investigated.

Coupled Planetary Interior and Tidal Evolution

The Astrophysical Journal
We present a new planetary structure/thermal evolution model, designed for use in problems that couple orbital dynamics with planetary structure. We first benchmark our structural/thermal evolution calculations against the MESA stellar evolution code ...

Using Moment of Inertia and Observable Planetary Features to Approximate the Two-Layer Structure of Earth, Jupiter, and Neptune

Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two, 2019
This paper examines the interior structure and composition of Earth, Jupiter, and Neptune by using moment of inertia (MoI) and observable planetary features to create approximate two-layer interior structure models. The moment inertia of a uniform sphere,
