Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Veronika Witzke, Alexander I. Shapiro, Nadiia M. Kostogryz, Robert Cameron, Benjamin V. Rackham | Summary: The reliable characterization of planetary atmospheres with transmission spectroscopy requires realistic modeling of stellar magnetic features, since features that are attributable to an exoplanet atmosphere could instead stem from the host star’s […]

Ultralight and ultra-stiff nano-cardboard panels: mechanical analysis, characterization, and design principles

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Jong-hyoung Kim, Lishuai Jin, Benjamin C. Schafer, Quan Jiao, Katia Bertoldi | Summary: 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 computational analyses and micro-mechanical testing. The sandwich panels consist of […]
