The origins of the elements and isotopes of cosmic material is a critical aspect of
understanding the evolution of the universe. Nucleosynthesis typically requires physical …

Interstellar dust from the Local Interstellar Cloud was detected unambiguously for the first
time in 1992 (Grün et al. in Nature 362: 428–430, 1993). Since then, great progress has …

Interstellar dust (ISD) is the condensed phase of the interstellar medium. In situ data from the
Cosmic Dust Analyzer on board the Cassini spacecraft reveal that the Saturnian system is …

Seven particles captured by the Stardust Interstellar Dust Collector and returned to Earth for
laboratory analysis have features consistent with an origin in the contemporary interstellar …

Indiscriminate disposal and burning of agricultural wastes constitute environmental pollution
and increase in greenhouse gases emission. Renewable nature and availability of …

During the planet formation process, billions of comets are created and ejected into
interstellar space. The detection and characterization of such interstellar comets (ICs)(also …

We study the ballistic properties of two-dimensional (2D) materials upon the hypervelocity
impacts of C60 fullerene molecules combining ab initio density functional tight binding and …

Mars Global View of Valles Marineris. Mosaic of the Valles Marineris hemisphere of Mars
projected into point perspective, a view similar to that which one would see from a …

Recent observations indicate that> 99% of the small bodies in the solar system reside in its
outer reaches—in the Kuiper Belt and Oort Cloud. Kuiper Belt bodies are probably the best …

Although interstellar grains are known to be aspherical, their actual shapes remain poorly
constrained. We assess whether three continuous distributions of ellipsoids (CDEs) from the …
