ORLANDO, Fla. — The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has awarded BAE Systems a $16 million contract to continue work on software that aims to keep “constant custody” of large
Normalized torques as a function of planetary mass and semimajor axis, assuming circular and coplanar orbits. The different migration regimes are indicated, separating inward from outward migration. The mass required
Graphical Abstract Viruses play essential roles in shaping the structure and function of microbial communities, including those inhabiting extreme environments. The Qaidam Basin is a unique Mars-analog desert characterised by
