Controlled photophoretic levitation of nanostructured thin films for near-space flight
Mohsen Azadi, George A. Popov, Zhipeng Lu +5
We report light-driven levitation of macroscopic polymer films whose bottom surface is engineered to maximize the thermal accommodation coefficient. Specifically, we levitated cent…

Photophoretic Levitation of Macroscopic Nanocardboard Plates
John Cortes, Christopher Stanczak, Maanav Narula +4
Scaling down miniature rotorcraft and flapping-wing flyers to sub-centimeter dimensions is challenging due to complex electronics requirements, manufacturing limitations, and the i…
