Volatile-element depletion in rocky planets as a purity spectrum of a single information field: An information-dynamics reinterpretation of hybrid accretion

Wang et al. (2026, Nature Astronomy) showed that the moderately-volatile lithophile element (MVLE) depletion patterns of Earth and Mars record different formation pathways: Earth accreted ≳75% of its mass via pebble accretion, Mars ∼73% via collisions of volatile-depleted planete...
