Disordered N‐termini enhance the thermostability of SGNH‐hydrolase family polyesterases
Abstract Polyesters are widely used plastics that persist in the environment due to their resistance to degradation. Microbial polyesterases potentially offer recycling and remediation solutions. However, most polyesterases lack the thermostability and catalytic efficiency required for practical application.

Probing the Sources of Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays—Constraints from Cosmic-Ray Measurements
Ultra-high-energy cosmic rays (UHECRs) are the most energetic particles known—and yet their origin is still an open question. However, with the precision and accumulated statistics of the Pierre Auger Observatory and the Telescope Array, in combination ...

Polydopamine‐Based Antioxidant Countermeasures Against Spaceflight‐Induced Neurodegeneration
Polydopamine nanoparticles (PDNPs) protect neuron‐like cells from microgravity‐ and cosmic radiation‐induced oxidative stress. Through in‐flight and ground‐based experiments, it has been shown that PDNPs preserve neuronal and mitochondrial function, markedly mitigating transcriptional dysregulation caused by spaceflight.

Short‐Term Effect of Mars‐Like Radiation on Carbon and Oxygen Isotope Compositions of Carbonates
Abstract The stable isotope composition of carbonates records the environmental formation conditions and can indicate potential biosignatures if formed biologically. Martian meteorite carbonates display unusually high δ13C values, not explained using known terrestrial processes.

Acceleration of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays: Cosmic Zevatrons? [PDF]
In this lecture I outline some of the underlying physics issues associated with accelerators plausibly capable of explaining the UHECRs up to ZeV energies. I concentrate on the concentrate on mechanisms and their constraints, but provide a brief background on on observations and the constraints they supply, as well.

Observations of ultra-high energy cosmic rays
The status of measurements of the arrival directions, mass composition and energy spectrum of cosmic rays above 3 x 10^18 eV (3 EeV) is reviewed using reports presented at the 29th International Cosmic Ray Conference held in Pune, India, in August 2005.
