Congratulations to Bikram Bhatia for his work on passive directional radiative cooling. Using a directional approach to passive radiative cooling that exploits the angular confinement of solar irradiation in the sky, Bikram demonstrated sub-ambient cooling during the...
Congratulations to Kyle Wilke for his work on condensation-resistant omniphobic surfaces. Using isolated reentrant cavities to prevent nucleation and spreading of droplets, Kyle was able to create an omniphobic surface that can repel liquids even during...
Congratulations to Evelyn N. Wang, the Gail E. Kendall (1978) Professor and director of MIT’s Device Research Laboratory, for being named head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, effective July 1, 2018. We all look forward to the leadership, the input and the...
Congratulations to Zhengmao Lu for successfully defending his PhD on Evaporation from Nanopores: Probing Interfacial Transport. The improved fundamental understanding of evaporation reported in Zhengmao’s work indicates the significant promise of utilizing an...
Congratulations to Hyunho, Sameer, Lin, Sungwoo and their collaborators for publishing their most recent work on water harvesting in Nature Communications! In this work, they demonstrate air-cooled sorbent-based atmospheric water harvesting using metal-organic...
