Topological guidance of a self-propelled particle
Ethan Andersson, Valeri Frumkin
Topological phenomena typically govern the behavior of delocalized waves, giving rise to robust transport in electronic, photonic, and mechanical systems. Whether similar principle…
Modeling the Thermal Behavior of Photopolymers for In-Space Fabrication
Jonathan Ericson, Daniel Widerker, Eytan Stibbe +15
Future long-duration space missions will require in-situ, on-demand manufacturing of tools and components. Photopolymer-based processes are attractive for this purpose due to their…
Observation of the Aharonov-Bohm Effect in Pilot-Wave Hydrodynamics
Georgi Gary Rozenman, Kyle I. McKee, Arnaud Lazarus +2
We report the results of an experimental study of an analog of the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) effect achieved with the hydrodynamic pilot-wave system. A walking droplet is confined to an a…
LiquiFab -- Building with liquids in weightlessness
Erez Hochman, Aaron Sprecher, Kateryna Suzina +4
Existing digital manufacturing methods can be broadly divided into subtractive approaches, where material is removed from a bulk to reveal the desired form, and additive methods, i…
In-space manufacturing of optical lenses: Fluidic Shaping aboard the International Space Station
Omer Luria, Mor Elgarisi, Eytan Stibbe +12
In-space manufacturing technologies are vital for enabling advanced space missions and addressing logistical limitations of space exploration. While additive manufacturing has prog…
Optical Design Pathways to Fluidic Space-Assembled Reflectors & Dual-Configuration Spectrographs for Characterizing Exo-Earths
Enrico Biancalani, Edward Balaban, Ruslan Belikov +14
| We present a conceptual framework for optically designing space-assembled telescopes whose primary mirror is formed via the enabl…
