Detections of Water Vapor Increase Over the North Polar Troughs on Mars as Observed by CRISM
Geophysical Research Letters, 2020 The Compact Reconnaissance Imaging Spectrometer for Mars (CRISM) onboard the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter has been observing the north polar layered deposits (NPLD) of Mars. Polar wind circulations are instrumental in shaping the NPLD.

Alterations in Saliva and Plasma Cytokine Concentrations During Long-Duration Spaceflight
Frontiers in Immunology, 2021 Long-duration spaceflight is known to cause immune dysregulation in astronauts. Biomarkers of immune system function are needed to determine both the need for and effectiveness of potential immune countermeasures for astronauts.

In situ synthesis of high dielectric constant GNPs/PBO nanocomposites with enhanced thermostability
IET Nanodielectrics, 2019 Graphite nanoparticles (GNPs) were introduced into poly(p-phenylene benzobisoxazole) (PBO) matrix to produce composites via in situ polymerisation. Films of various composites were fabricated through the solution casting method in methanesulfonic acid ...

Root Skewing-Associated Genes Impact the Spaceflight Response of Arabidopsis thaliana
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 The observation that plant roots skew in microgravity recently refuted the long-held conviction that skewing was a gravity-dependent phenomenon. Further, spaceflight root skewing suggests that specific root morphologies and cell wall remodeling systems ...
