Enceladus's measured physical libration requires a global subsurface ocean
Several planetary satellites apparently have subsurface seas that are of great interest for,
among other reasons, their possible habitability. The geologically diverse saturnian satellite …

A planetesimal orbiting within the debris disc around a white dwarf star
Many white dwarf stars show signs of having accreted smaller bodies, implying that they
may host planetary systems. A small number of these systems contain gaseous debris discs …

How the geysers, tidal stresses, and thermal emission across the south polar terrain of Enceladus are related
We present the first comprehensive examination of the geysering, tidal stresses, and
anomalous thermal emission across the south pole of Enceladus and discuss the …

Imaging of Titan from the Cassini spacecraft
Titan, the largest moon of Saturn, is the only satellite in the Solar System with a substantial
atmosphere. The atmosphere is poorly understood and obscures the surface, leading to …

Encoding electronic properties by synthesis of axial modulation-doped silicon nanowires
We describe the successful synthesis of modulation-doped silicon nanowires by achieving
pure axial elongation without radial overcoating during the growth process. Scanning gate …
