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…

Minimizing the Ground Effect for Photophoretically Levitating Disks
Zhipeng Lu, Miranda Stern, Jinqiao Li +6
Photophoretic levitation is a propulsion mechanism in which lightweight objects can be lifted and controlled through their interactions with light. Since photophoretic forces on ma…
