Impact Reactivation of a Hydrothermal System in Basalt in the Vargeão Dome Impact Structure, Brazil

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract As hydrous minerals have been observed in impact craters on Mars, impact‐generated hydrothermal systems (IGHSs) have been considered as potential habitats for life on that planet. The Vargeão Dome, a 12 km wide impact structure in southern Brazil, was formed in basalts with at least two hydrothermal alteration stages.

Tracing a Wet Past and Diverse Provenances in Gale Crater, Mars, With Lithium Content Using ChemCam on the Curiosity Rover

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 2, February 2026.
Abstract The incompatible behavior of Lithium during magmatic differentiation and high mobility during aqueous alteration make it a valuable tracer of crustal processes on Mars. Its preferential incorporation into secondary phyllosilicates further links Li to clay‐forming environments, which are critical for evaluating past aqueous activity and ...

Formulated plastic separators for soluble electrode cells [PDF]

, 1979
The fabrication and milling of membranes comprising a hydrochloric acid-insoluble sheet of a mixture of a rubber and a powdered ion transport material are described. The sheet can be present as a coating upon a flexible and porous substrate.

Rapid terrestrial weathering of the CI1 carbonaceous chondrite find Oued Chebeika 002

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 2, Page 211-223, February 2026.
Abstract Alteration of historic CI1 meteorite falls during their curation demonstrates the susceptibility of smectite‐rich carbonaceous chondrites to terrestrial exposure. The discovery of Oued Chebeika 002 in Morocco in June 2024 presents a unique opportunity to document the earliest stages of weathering of a CI1 find.

Insights into secondary reactions occurring during atmospheric ablation of micrometeoroids [PDF]

, 2016
Ablation of micrometeoroids during atmospheric entry yields volatile gases such as water, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide, capable of altering atmospheric chemistry and hence the climate and habitability of the planetary surface.

Ferromagnesian Clay Diversity Across Mars' Crustal Dichotomy: A Window Into Early Aqueous Environments

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 1, January 2026.
Abstract Extensive research over the past two decades has shown that early Mars likely had a warmer, wetter climate with widespread water activity. Ferromagnesian (Fe,Mg‐rich) clay deposits are compelling markers of these ancient environments, helping reconstruct Mars' hydrologic evolution, assess past habitability, and guide future exploration.

Nondestructive analysis of Bennu samples toward comparative studies with Ryugu samples

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 3-16, January 2026.
Abstract Analyzing primitive extraterrestrial samples from asteroids is key to understanding the evolution of the early solar system. The OSIRIS‐REx mission returned samples from the B‐type asteroid Bennu, providing a valuable opportunity to compare them with the Ryugu samples collected by the Hayabusa2 mission.

Occurrence and characterization of nanosulfide‐rich regions on asteroid Ryugu: Insights from mackinawite and pyrrhotite

Meteoritics &Planetary Science, Volume 61, Issue 1, Page 168-181, January 2026.
Abstract Samples returned from asteroid Ryugu by the Hayabusa2 mission are dominated by fine‐grained matrix material made of phyllosilicates and nanosulfides. Here, we report the mineralogical, textural, and chemical characteristics of nanosulfide‐rich regions identified in Ryugu particles.

New petrographic and trace element data on thermally metamorphosed carbonaceous chondrites [PDF]

, 1999
Mineral grains and matrix of heated chondrites Yamato (Y)-82162,Belgica (B)-7904,Y-86720,and Asuka (A)-881655 were examined for major elements and, where appropriate, phyllosilicate and matrix samples were characterized by TEM. CM chondrites A-881655 and
