A surprising isotopic fingerprint in β-alanine from asteroid Bennu and the Murchison meteorite go.nature.com/4inhMfw — Mcintosh, O.M., Baczynski, A.A., Rasmussen, C. et al. Commun Earth Environ (2026) doi.org/10.1038/s432... #OpenAccess #BehindThePaper | @commsearth.nature.com

In 2023, NASA’s OSIRIS-REx mission returned samples from the asteroid Bennu, offering a unique window into the chemistry of the early Solar System. We used the nitrogen and intramolecular carbon isotope signature of the amino acid β-alanine to investigate how and where it formed in the Solar System.

Let's get some lunar gravity by spinning the capsule! go.nature.com/46iPWdd — Karl H. Hasenstein, John Z. Kiss, Christopher P. McKay . Assessing Water Dynamics at Lunar Gravity. #MicrogravitySciTechnol 38, 63 (2026) doi.org/10.1007/s122... #OpenAccess #BehindThePaper @floridatech.bsky.social

Future lunar bases will need reliable systems for growing plants as a food source. In order to better understand water delivery to plants on the Moon, we performed an experiment on the Blue Origin New Shepard 29 (NS-29) flight, which briefly simulated the Moon's gravity during a suborbital mission.
