Volatile Elements Characterized by MarSCoDe in Materials at Zhurong Landing Site

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal
The study of volatile elements on the Martian surface is a critical way to explore the geological evolution history of Mars. Volatile elements such as hydrogen (H), sulfur (S), and chlorine (Cl) on the Martian surface act as proxies for the potential ...

Origami‐Inspired Structural Design for Aquatic‐Terrestrial Amphibious Robots

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
This work presents a lightweight amphibious origami robot actuated by a single shape memory alloy wire. A rigid foldable origami structure with displacement amplification enables efficient terrestrial crawling and aquatic swimming. The addition of fan‐shaped units allows controllable turning in both environments.

Research of the Tooth Surface Equation and Sliding Characteristic of Internal Cycloid Planetary Transmission with Point Contact

open access: yesJixie chuandong, 2015
A new gear pair of cycloidal planetary transmission with point contact is proposed. The equations of tubular meshing tooth surfaces and contact locus of internal cycloidal planetary transmission are derived respectively.

A Decrease in Slope Angles on Insolated Martian Slopes: Ground-based Experiments

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Dry granular flow on Martian slopes can benefit from subsoil Knudsen compressors induced by thermal creep gas flow. The required temperature gradient for this natural compressor can be set by insolation.

Evolutionary Landscapes and Resurfacing Processes of Planetary Surfaces [PDF]

open access: yes
Geomorphology is the study of features on the surface of Earth and other planetary bodies. It is an important tool to study the evolution of solar system bodies, and how they relate to what we know about Earth.

Workshop on Planetary Atmospheres : November 6-7, 2007, Greenbelt, Maryland [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The talks are organized along three themes: Atmospheres around bodies with solid surfaces (e.g., terrestrial planets, Titan, Io, Pluto, satellites, small bodies); Giant-planet atmospheres (Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune); Other topics (e.g., comets,

Raman Spectroscopy of Salt Deposits from the Simulated Subsurface Ocean of Enceladus

open access: yesThe Planetary Science Journal
Enceladus may host a subsurface ocean with biologically relevant chemistry. Plumes released from this ocean preserve information on its chemical state, and previous analyses suggest weakly to strongly alkaline pH.
