One-third of Mars' surface has shallow-buried H2O, but it is currently too cold for use by life.
Proposals to warm Mars using greenhouse gases require a large mass of ingredients that …

Interfacial solar evaporation has been considered as a compromising way to alleviate water
shortage. However, when applied in real sea water environment, the undissolved salt …

The growing demand to manipulate objects with long-range techniques has increasingly
called for the development of techniques capable of intensifying and spatially concentrating …

We introduce a class of ultra-light and ultra-stiff sandwich panels designed for use in
photophoretic levitation applications and investigate their mechanical behavior using both …

Optical pulling is an attractive concept due to the counterintuitive feature, the profound
mechanism underneath and promising applications. In recent ten years, optical pulling of …

Photophoresis is a particle-light-induced phenomenon with several applications, such as
spectroscopy, three-dimensional displays, and nanomanufacturing, to name a few. This …

In this study, we introduce a fast, scalable method to fabricate ultralight carbon nanotube
(CNT) aerogels with a bulk density (ρ) lower than air, using a combustion process. Typical …
