TL;DR: The first solid samples analyzed by SAM, a scoop of windblown dust and sand at Rocknest, revealed several chloromethanes and a C4-chlorinated hydrocarbon derived primarily from reactions between a martian oxychlorine phase (e.g. perchlorate) and terrestrial carbon from N-methyl-N-(tertbutyldimethylsilyl)- trifluoroacetamide (MTBSTFA) vapor present in the SAM instrument background as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors presented a proof-of-concept non-dispersive infrared-red (NDIR) gas analyzer that has been realized with a quad-channel thermopile and a parallel readout circuitry consisting of a multi-channel digitizer (MCD) application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) and a field programmable gate array (FPGA).

TL;DR: In this paper, a finite element method is employed to simulate field emission from the cathode, an array of carbon nanotube pillars, to determine the effect that offsets in alignment of the carbine to the grid and the cathodes to grid gap have on the trajectories of electrons transmitted through the grid.

TL;DR: Pizzarello et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the origin of nucleobases in carbonaceous chondrite meteorites using liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray triple-stage mass spectrometry or orbitrap mass spectroscopy.

TL;DR: Franz et al. as discussed by the authors described the passage of the SAM QMS through the globe and beyond as described in Table 1 : THROUGH GLEN TORRIDON and BEYOND AS MEASURED by the SAMQMS.
