• Blacklight sintering of ceramics 

      Porz, Lukas; Rettenwander, Daniel (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      For millennia, ceramics have been densified via sintering in a furnace, a time-consuming and energy-intensive process. The need to minimize environmental impact calls for new physical concepts beyond large kilns relying ...
    • Focused ion beam milling of self-assembled magnetic superstructures: an approach to fabricate nanoporous materials with tunable porosity 

      Håkonsen, Verner; Singh, Gurvinder; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Fabricating nanoporous materials with tunable pore sizes while keeping the freedom of materials choice, is an active area of research because of its practical relevance in a wide range of applications. Here, we demonstrate ...
    • Gels as emerging anti-icing materials: a mini review 

      Zhuo, Yizhi; Chen, Jianhua; Xiao, Senbo; Li, Tong; Wang, Feng; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Gel materials have drawn great attention recently in the anti-icing research community due to their remarkable potentials for reducing ice adhesion, inhibiting ice nucleation, and restricting ice propagation. Although the ...
    • Liquid layer generator for excellent icephobicity at extremely low temperature 

      Wang, Feng; Xiao, Senbo; Zhuo, Yizhi; Ding, Wenwu; He, Jianying; Zhang, Zhiliang (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)
      Progress in icephobicity has been made in recent years. However, the majority of the icephobic surfaces reported are relying on mechanisms of static nature, and maintaining low ice adhesion of these surfaces at extreme ...
