Universality and variability of the heavy r-process element abundance pattern

This study demonstrates that a nonequilibrium freeze-out approach provides a natural way of accounting for the typical abundance pattern of heavy r-process elements in stars and its variation.

Characterizing solar cycle influence on long-term orbital deterioration of space debris

How variations in solar cycle activity drive thermospheric density changes, directly impacting the drag and long-term orbital decay of space debris in low-Earth orbit.

Selection of beneficial fungi for plants with the potential to metabolize lunar and Martian regolith

How beneficial extremophilic and plant growth-promoting fungi can transform toxic, nutrient-poor lunar and Martian regolith into functional soils for sustainable space agriculture.
