Radar Characterization of Salt Layers in Europa's Ice Shell as a Window Into Critical Ice‐Ocean Exchange Processes by N. S. Wolfenbarger, D. D. Blankenship, D. A. Young, K. M. Scanlan, C. J. Chivers, D. Findlay, G. B. Steinbrügge, K. Chan, C. Grima, K. M. Soderlund, D. M. Schroeder

“…Both missions are equipped with ice‐penetrating radars which will transmit radio waves into the subsurface, recording reflections from interfaces defined by contrasts in ice shell dielectric properties. Assuming an MgSO4 ocean, we show that salt layers, formed through the freezing of subsurface liquid water reservoirs, can be detected by ice‐penetrating radar instruments on Europa Clipper and JUICE. …”

Monolithic electrostatic actuators with independent stiffness modulation by Yuejun Xu, Jian Wen, Etienne Burdet, Majid Taghavi

“…Here we replicate this function in the electro-stiffened ribbon actuator, a monolithic strong actuator capable of high contraction and stiffness modulation. electro-stiffened ribbon actuator employs dielectric-liquid-amplified electrostatic forces for contraction, and electrorheological fluid for rapid (<10 ms) stiffness and damping adjustments. …”
