Abstract: Abstract Ganymede’s bright terrain formed during a near-global resurfacing event (or events) that produced both heavily tectonized and relatively smooth terrains. The mechanism(s) by which resurfacing occurred on Ganymede (e.g., cryovolcanic or tectonic), and the… read more here.

Abstract: We investigate a model of a stochastic engine operating cyclically in a viscous fluid at constant temperature, where the working substance consists of an overdamped Brownian particle confined by a harmonic potential, which is elastically… read more here.
