A tiling window manager can be a thing of efficient beauty, but with them can come a steep learning curve. Regolith Linux aims to lesson that curve and ease the transition.

The enhanced model accommodates the various properties of Martian regolith, or the loose deposits of solid rock that comprise Martian soil. The study is published in the Journal of Geophysical ...

Team Abstract: Team LunaREX's objective is to build a mechanically functional stationary robot capable of digging lunar regolith. Inspired by the NASA RASSOR, the LunaREX digger utilizes a rotating ...

The enhanced model accommodates the various properties of Martian regolith, or the loose deposits of solid rock that comprise Martian soil. Mirai Kobayashi says current models fail to account for ...

The amount of pore space in most unweathered granite is too small to support a plant-based ecosystem. But porosity grows as intact rock interacts with surface waters beneath the soil. You have ...

Mirai Kobayashi says current models fail to account for the fact that laboratory experiments have demonstrated that the water-holding capacity of the regolith is strongly influenced by its ...
