EXO Dynamics Research Aids are the sealed EXO capsules dotted over every planet - on the surface and deeper down. Each one shows an icon for what opens it: either feed it power through the cable port (a couple of Medium Generators or a charged battery will do for the surface ones) or slot in the resource shown.

Inside sits a research item worth a serious pile of bytes - stick it straight in a Research Chamber and you'll likely bag Information Dump at the same time. Deeper capsules ask for rarer resources; the Astronium-locked ones can contain a QT-RTG, which is well worth the trouble.
