Bio‐Inspired Gradient Coatings Enhance the Leading Edge Erosion Resistance of Wind Blades

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Rain‐induced erosion of the wind turbine blade leading edge poses a critical challenge to maintenance and operation. Here, we propose a bio‐inspired approach for erosion protection utilising a platelet‐reinforced polyurethane coating with a graded through‐thickness architecture.

Development of a Martian in-situ hybrid rocket motor

, 2020
One of the chief obstacles that has prevented a human mission to Mars is the excessive amount of mass that must be launched into low earth orbit to assemble the Mars-bound spacecraft. Since propellants alone account for 75% of the total mass requirements, a new concept has been proposed for both manned missions and unmanned robotic sample return ...
