Effects of Ambient Moisture and Large‐Strain Dynamic Preloading on the Dynamic Properties of the EAC‐1A Regolith Simulant

International Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The EAC‐1A lunar mare simulant, a silty sand, was selected by the European Astronaut Center (EAC) for use in the LUNA analogue facility's lunar simulation testbed. Its stress‐ and strain‐dependent shear modulus and damping ratio were determined via resonant column testing on specimens prepared either from ambient moisture material or oven ...

From Flybys to Sample Return: A Review of Space Probes and Robotic Sampling Technologies for Small Bodies

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As a crucial puzzle piece of deep space exploration, exploring small bodies can provide significant scientific insights and valuable mineral resources. Unlike missions to the Moon and Mars, small‐body missions pose distinct technical challenges, including communication delays, weak gravity, and uncertain environments. This paper reviews a full

Acoustic Tweezers‐Assisted Biomaterial Molding in Petri Dishes (TAMP) for Engineering Glioma Tissues With Controlled Cellular and Extracellular Matrix Architectures

Small, EarlyView.
This study introduces an acoustics‐assisted tissue engineering approach, termed “Acoustic Tweezers‐Assisted Biomaterial Molding in Petri Dishes (TAMP),” which enables the fabrication of tissues with customizable extracellular matrix (ECM) geometries and various acoustically constructed internal cellular architectures, including parallel elongated ...

Centrifugal Step‐Emulsification Platform for High‐Throughput Emulsion Screening

Small Methods, EarlyView.
A high‐throughput centrifugal emulsification platform generates reproducible droplets directly in standard 96‐well plates via step emulsification. Compatible with automation, it enables parallel screening and stability mapping of diverse emulsion formulations, accelerating closed‐loop optimization and sustainable droplet‐system discovery.

Investigation of Serrated Flow in Intercritically Annealed Medium Manganese Steel by In Situ Synchrotron X‐Ray Diffraction

steel research international, EarlyView.
Serrations and stepwise austenite phase transformation were observed in cold‐rolled and annealed medium manganese steels. By in situ XRD experiments, these two phenomena were studied simultaneously. The results show that DSA leads to the creation of PLC bands and load drops in the specimen.
