Effect of struvite on the growth of green beans on Mars and Moon regolith simulants

Open Agriculture
When humans are going to live on the Moon or Mars, food production and reusing waste products as manure will be essential for their survival. This calls for a circular sustainable agricultural ecosystem for food production. Earlier experiments have shown

The Unique Roles of Executive Function in Co‐Occurring Psychopathologies in Autism

Autism Research, Volume 19, Issue 8, August 2026.
ABSTRACT Children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often experience co‐occurring psychiatric conditions, such as anxiety and attention‐deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), which significantly impair daily functioning. However, the underlying mechanisms linking these conditions to core ASD features remain poorly understood.

Effect of Soil Type on Running Performance of Small Lunar Rover

Aerospace
It is very easy for a small lunar rover to slip on the regolith of the lunar surface and become stuck. Previous studies have quantitatively evaluated the effects of wheel geometry, such as elliptical or eccentric wheels, on the performance of a rover ...

Investigation of dynamic responses of skin simulant against fragment impact through experiments and concurrent computational modeling

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology
Perforation of the skin by fragment impact is a key determinant of the severity of an injury and incapacitation during modern asymmetric warfare. Computational models validated against experimental data are thus desired for simulating the responses of a ...

Visible and Near Infrared (VNIR) Spectroscopy to Decipher Glass and Crystal Content of Lab‐Made Martian Volcanic Analogs

Journal of Geophysical Research: Planets, Volume 131, Issue 8, August 2026.
Abstract Understanding how the glass/crystal ratio influences the spectral response of volcanic rocks is crucial for interpreting planetary remote sensing data. Here, four mafic rocks simulating a possible Martian composition were synthesized with identical bulk chemistry but different mineralogical assemblages, from fully amorphous to ∼70 wt.% crystal
