In this review, we present a framework to guide the design of surfaces which are resistant to
solid fouling, based on the modulus and length scale of the fouling material. Solid fouling is …

Transparent coatings with different hydrophobicity have been prepared by a cost-efficient
and simple approach. These coatings possess two main properties: high transmittance and …

Lunar dust has the potential to impede any planned operation on the Lunar surface,
especially that of a permanent Moon settlement. First identified during the Apollo missions …

Spacecraft landings on Earth's moon are highly susceptible to lunar regolith particle
impingement leading to abrasion and premature failure of structural components. Herein …

Dust resuspension and deposition is a ubiquitous phenomenon in all lunar and Martian
missions. The near-term plans to return to the Moon as a stepping stone to further …

Dust accumulation is detrimental to optical elements, electronic devices, and mechanical
systems and is a significant problem in space missions and renewable energy deployment …

Dust mobilized on the lunar surface due to natural processes and/or human activities can
readily stick to spacesuits, optical devices, and mechanical components, for example. This …

This work tests the reliability of a simple, rapid centrifugal technique to estimate the removal
force necessary to detach common airborne particles from the surface of a photovoltaic …

The accumulation of highly adhesive dust on spacecraft presents a serious issue to hinder
long-term extravehicular activity and the establishment of a permanent station on lunar …

Dust pollution presents a wide range of adverse effects to product functionalities and the
quality of human life. For instance, when dust particles deposit on solar photovoltaic panels …
