Scientific Reports 15:22208 (2025)
Abstract: Detection of alpha particles in high magnetic fields is critical for fission fragment rocket engine diagnostics. This work explores detector configurations and performance characteristics relevant to next-generation space propulsion.
Sobel AL
Frontiers in Public Health 11:1318619 (2024)
Editorial on the research topic of crew health and performance during extended space missions, addressing biomedical challenges of long-duration transit.
Sobel A, Duncan R
Frontiers in Public Health 8:327 (2020)
Abstract: As transit times to Mars decrease with advanced propulsion, aerospace environmental health considerations must be reassessed. This review examines countermeasures needed to sustain crew health under compressed mission timelines.
Lacouture S, Dardik T, Van der Vliet D, Akene J, Adeosun S, Duncan RV
Review of Scientific Instruments 91(9):095102 (2020)
Abstract: A solid-state open-system differential calorimeter capable of high-precision thermal measurement. The instrument is suited for pulsed-power and metrology applications requiring rapid, accurate thermal characterization.
Gillespie AK, Lin C, Thorn RP Jr, Higgins H, Baca R, Durso AA, Jones D, Ogu R, Marquis J, Duncan RV
Review of Scientific Instruments 91(8):085103 (2020)
Abstract: A fast-response cryogenic calorimeter for evaporation rate measurement at low temperatures. Designed for cryogenic fluid handling and thermal property characterization in compact instrument environments.
Publications sourced from PubMed via the National Institutes of Health NCBI Entrez API. Search covered the period 2020–2025 for authors Sobel, Duncan, Lacouture, Gillespie, Kelley, and Lin.
