Advanced Materials Technologies, Volume 10, Issue 23, December 3, 2025.This study develops a 3D optical sensor formed by mechanical buckling and equipped with wireless communication for navigation. Off‐the‐shelf electronic components are assembled onto a flexible circuit board, followed by mechanical strain‐guiding, facilitating the integration of an out‐of‐plane sensing configuration with a signal processing module.

Orbital debris removal with solar concentrators [PDF]
, 2010 In 1993 solar concentrators were first proposed to deflect asteroids away from a collision course with the Earth. The original concept was expanded by the authors, and proved to be effective and technologically feasible.
