Challenges to the Prohibition on Sovereignty in Outer Space - A New Frontier for Space Governance

Potchefstroom Electronic Law Journal, 2021
The current space arena has changed significantly since the 1950s, when outer space activities commenced. At the time of the adoption of the Outer Space Treaty (and the related General Assembly Resolutions), the outer space arena was largely dominated by

Self-adaptive integration of photothermal and radiative cooling for continuous energy harvesting from the sun and outer space. [PDF]

Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A, 2022
Significance The sun (∼6,000 K) and outer space (∼3 K) are two natural energy resources for humans. However, most of the approaches of energy harvesting from the sun and rejecting energy to outer space are achieved independently using absorbers and ...
