Planetary magnetism: Unlocking the secrets of planetary interiors [PDF]

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2015
Many planetary bodies in our solar system have magnetic fields that we can observe with spacecraft instruments. These magnetic fields are generated deep in planetary interiors by complex motions in liquid conductors. Because these magnetic fields are observable outside of the planet, they can act as important probes of planetary interiors. In this talk

From Lab to Landscape: Environmental Biohybrid Robotics for Ecological Futures

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This Perspective explores environmental biohybrid robotics, integrating living tissues, microorganisms, and insects for operation in real‐world ecosystems. It traces the leap from laboratory experiments to forests, wetlands, and urban environments and discusses key challenges, development pathways, and opportunities for ecological monitoring and ...

Two Routes to Land: Genomic Underpinnings of Parallel Aerial Egg Deposition in Aquatic Old‐World Pila and New‐World Pomacea (Ampullariidae)

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Comparative genomics of Gondwana‐diverged Pila and Pomacea reveals parallel evolution of aerial oviposition. Convergent chromosomal rearrangements reshape regulatory landscapes within topologically associating domains. Lineage‐specific gene family expansions and viral‐derived perivitelline proteins (PV1) underpin desiccation resistance.

Stable Stratification of the Helium Rain Layer Yields Vastly Different Interiors and Magnetic Fields for Jupiter and Saturn

The Planetary Science Journal
At sufficiently high pressures (∼Mbar) and low temperatures (∼10 ^3 –10 ^4 K), hydrogen and helium become partly immiscible. Interpretations of Jupiter’s and Saturn’s magnetic fields favor the existence of a statically stable layer near the Mbar pressure

Mercury's Alfvén Wing Current System Under Sub‐Alfvénic Solar Wind Conditions: Insights From Global MHD Simulations

Geophysical Research Letters
Mercury's proximity to the Sun results in the lowest average Alfvénic Mach number in the upstream solar wind compared to any other planet. Under extreme conditions, the upstream Alfvén speed can exceed the solar wind speed, resulting in a sub‐Alfvénic ...

Extra Climate Benefits From Afforestation Due to Reduced Forest Fragmentation in China

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Afforestation in China reduced forest fragmentation in 2015, transforming 51.8 M ha of edge forests into interior forests. This enhanced carbon sequestration (1.4±0.2 Pg CO2e, a cooling biogeochemical effect), while reduced albedo (−0.9 Pg CO2e, a warming biophysical effect) partially offset the gain, yielding a net extra climate benefit of ...

Effect of a Surficial Porous Brittle Layer on the Dynamics and Equilibrium Thickness of Europa’s Ice Shell

The Planetary Science Journal
Tectonic and cryovolcanic features on Europa suggest a dynamically active ice shell with a highly deformable near-surface brittle layer. Shell thickness estimates based on geological interpretation and thermal modeling vary from 10 km to more than 30 km.

In‐Process Magnetization for 3D Printing of Magnetorheological Elastomer with Heterogeneous Magnetic Profile for Anisotropic Actuation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fully programmable, in‐process 3D magnetization integrated with multi‐material printing enables soft magnetic systems with precise actuation and sensing. Discrete and continuous magnetization profiles drive bending, morphing, and locomotion, demonstrated through strain‐sensing elements, dragonfly‐inspired wings, octopus‐like tentacles, and a serpentine

Assessing Core-powered Mass Loss in the Context of Early Boil-off: Minimal Long-lived Mass Loss for the Sub-Neptune Population

The Astrophysical Journal
We develop a Python-based state-of-the-art sub-Neptune evolution model that incorporates both the post-formation boil-off at young ages ≤1 Myr and long-lived core-powered mass loss (∼Gyr) from interior cooling.
