Scientific understanding of any kind of radiation effects starts from the primary damage, ie
the defects that are produced right after an initial atomic displacement event initiated by a …

Abstract The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is a revolutionary mission
that simultaneously investigates two of the most important overarching issues in …

Half of the chemical elements heavier than iron are produced by the rapid neutron capture
process (r-process). The sites and yields of this process are disputed, with candidates …

Here we introduce the interstellar dust modelling framework THEMIS (The Heterogeneous
dust Evolution Model for Interstellar Solids), which takes a global view of dust and its …

Online citizen science projects have the potential to engage thousands of participants with
scientific research. A small number of projects such as Foldit use an online computer game …

Half of the heavy elements including all actinides are produced in r-process
nucleosynthesis, whose sites and history remain a mystery. If continuously produced, the …

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 …

Abstract Anomalous Microwave Emission (AME) is a component of diffuse Galactic radiation
observed at frequencies in the range≈ 10–60 GHz. AME was first detected in 1996 and …

A dying massive star ends in a supernova explosion ejecting a large fraction of its mass into
the interstellar medium. If this happens nearby, part of the ejecta might end on Solar System …

Auxetic architectures with a negative Poisson's ratio have attracted increasing attention due
to their intriguing physical properties and numerous promising applications and recent …
