    • A Post‐Launch Summary of the Science of NASA's Psyche Mission 

      Dibb, Steven D; Asphaug, Erik; Bell, James F; Binzel, Richard P; Bottke, William F; e.a. (American Geophysical Union, 2024-04)
      Astronomical observations indicate that asteroid (16) Psyche is a large, high-density (likely >3,400 kg·m−3), metal-rich (30–55 vol. %) asteroid. Psyche may be remnant core material or it could be a primordial, undifferentiated ...

    • Remotely Sensed Soil Moisture Can Capture Dynamics Relevant to Plant Water Uptake 

      Feldman, Andrew F; Short Gianotti, Daniel J; Dong, Jianzhi; Akbar, Ruzbeh; Crow, Wade T; e.a. (American Geophysical Union, 2023-01-26)
      A frequently expressed viewpoint across the Earth science community is that global soil moisture estimates from satellite L‐band (1.4 GHz) measurements represent moisture only in a shallow surface layer (0–5 cm) and ...

    • Electrospun Liquid-Infused Membranes for Emulsified Oil/Water Separation 

      Song, Chen; Rutledge, Gregory C (American Chemical Society, 2022-02-07)
      From an environmental perspective, microfiltration membranes are attractive for the separation of emulsified oils from contaminated water. However, fouling of the membrane is a major drawback of the technology. "Liquid-infused ...
