A near‐infrared photosensitizer that facilitates efficient solid‐state photon upconversion by recycling triplets formed within a fullerene‐based donor–acceptor bulk‐heterojunction system is demonstrated. Spectroscopic investigations reveal that the energy of photogenerated charge transfer states of triplet character (3CT) is subsequently transferred to

Catalytic ignition of hydrogen and oxygen propellants [PDF]
An experimental program was conducted to evaluate the catalytic ignition of gaseous hydrogen and oxygen propellants. Shell 405 granular catalyst and a monolithic sponge catalyst were tested. Mixture ratio, mass flow rate, propellant temperature, and back

Multiscale Acoustic Bubble Actuators Using Bioinspired Liquid‐Repellent Microstructures
The article presents multiscale acoustic bubble actuators using bioinspired liquid‐repellent microstructures, enabling programmable trapping, pumping, mixing, and precise flow control. Mimicking springtail microstructures, these scalable actuators (200 µm–1 mm) offer multifunctionality in all‐in‐one devices, letter‐shaped arrays, and 3D cube ...

Development of Green Bipropellant Thrusters and Engines Using 98% Hydrogen Peroxide as Oxidizer
The need for non-toxic chemical propulsion systems is growing stronger in today’s space sector. One of the possible solutions for next-generation bipropellant systems is using hydrogen peroxide as the oxidizer.

Comparative analysis of the designs and implementation of vehicles based on reactive propulsion proposed during the nineteenth and beginning of the twentieth centuries [PDF]
Examination of the presently known historical scientific literature related to the problem of reactive flight indicates that considerable attention had already been given to the idea of reactive propulsion in the nineteenth century; about thirty designs ...

Ultra‐Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuation for Minimally Invasive Neural Interfacing
Parylene C is a common polymer in bioelectronics, favored for its biological and chemical inertness. However, this makes bonding layers of Parylene C together very challenging. Here it is a laser to selectively weld layers of Parylene C to create high‐pressure fluidic actuation devices.

Green Propellants Based on Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN)
Ammonium perchlorate (AP) and hydrazine are today widely used as propellants. AP as oxidizer in solid propellants and hydrazine as liquid monopropellant (Brown, 1995; Sutton and Biblarz, 2001). These propellants are well known for their good performance characteristics, but their limitations and liabilities regarding toxicity, operational handling and ...
