TL;DR: Spectra from Cassini's Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer reveal that the horizontal structure, height, and optical depth of Titan's clouds are highly dynamic, suggesting that temperate clouds originate from circulation-induced convergence, in addition to a forcing at the surface associated with Saturn's tides, geology, and/or surface composition.

TL;DR: The methods employed and results obtained for the projects levitation observation of dendrite evolution in steel ternary alloy rapid solidification and quasicrystalline undercooled alloys for space investigation (QUASI) are explained.

TL;DR: In this paper, a magnetohydrodynamic model of internal convection of a molten Co-Cu droplet processed by the ground-based electromagnetic levitation (EML) was developed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive overview of the solidification processes of metallic melts processed and undercooled containerlessly by drop tube, electromagnetic and electrostatic levitation, and in reduced gravity.

TL;DR: In this article, an undercooled pure nickel was imaged at sufficiently high spatial resolution (64 × X 64 pixels) and temporal resolution (40,500 frames/s) to observe interface shape and motion at solidification velocities exceeding 45 m/s.
