3D photophoretic aircraft made from ultralight porous materials can carry kg-scale payloads in the mesosphere
Thomas Celenza, Andy Eskenazi, Igor Bargatin
We show that photophoretic aircraft would greatly benefit from a three-dimensional (3D) hollow geometry that pumps ambient air through sidewalls to create a high-speed jet. To iden…
A Beginner's Guide to Homological Algebra: A Comprehensive Introduction for Students
Andy Eskenazi, Kevin You, Will Vauclain +1
Homological algebra is often understood as the translator between the world of topology and algebra. However, this branch of mathematics is worth studying by itself, given that it…
Equitable Optimization of U.S. Airline Route Networks
Arnav Joshi, Andy Eskenazi, Landon Butler +1
Restructuring route networks (i.e., modifying the graph of origin-destination pairs) remains a promising alternative for reducing the airline industry's environmental impact. Howev…
Democratizing Aviation Emissions Estimation: Development of an Open-Source, Data-Driven Methodology
Andy Eskenazi, Landon Butler, Arnav Joshi +1
Through an aviation emissions estimation tool that is both publicly-accessible and comprehensive, researchers, planners, and community advocates can help shape a more sustainable a…
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…
