Green Propellants Based on Ammonium Dinitramide (ADN)
, 2011 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 ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.To achieve efficient cancer cell death, a bowl‐shaped PDA@UiO‐66@DOX nanorobot drug‐delivery nanoplatform was developed. Near‐infrared irradiation not only drives the nanorobot to exhibit self‐thermophoretic motion and elevates temperature but also triggers Doxorubicin (DOX) release via hyperthermia, enhancing cancer cells uptake of DOX and thereby ...

Multidirectional Motion Strategy of Miniature Water Surface Robot Actuated by Single Exciter
Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.A novel multidirectional motion strategy on the water surface based on a single exciter is proposed, and a single‐exciter single‐plate module is developed for actuation. The driving forces generation mechanism of the module is revealed from the perspective of the asymmetric surface wave field.
