Congratulations to Lin Zhao for successfully defending his PhD on transparent silica aerogels for solar thermal energy applications. During his PhD, Lin established and validated a modeling framework to understand light transport in aerogel samples. This model enabled...
Congratulations to Lin Zhao and his collaborators for their recent work on solar receivers using optically transparent and thermally insulative silica areogels. In their work, they demonstrated heating of a blackbody absorber up to 265 °C under unconcentrated sunlight...
Congratulations to Dr. Zhengmao Lu and his collaborator Prof. Ikuya Kinefuchi for their recent work featured on MIT News. In this work, the authors demonstrate that changes in pressure, more so than temperature, strongly influence how quickly liquids turn to gas in...
