Hydrogen is foreseen to be part of our future energy systems as Europe has the ambition to be a carbon-neutral continent by 2050. As the grid undergoes significant changes, such as shifting to intermittent renewable energy production and increasing the electrification of various end-use demands,...

During its re-entry into the atmosphere, the capsule withstands a strong shock due to its hypersonic velocity. This shock generates, near the Thermal Protection System (TPS), a lower velocity but extremely hot and reactive flow. As shown by previous space missions, there are still many...

A rapidly expanding research area involves the development of routes to shape programmable three-dimensional (3D) structures with feature sizes in the mesoscopic range (that is, between tens of nanometres and hundreds of micrometres). A goal is to establish methods to control the properties of...

With more than 70 successful flights, NASA’s Ingenuity helicopter demonstrated the feasibility of aerial exploration on Mars and opened the door to similar missions on other planets. Future planetary rotorcraft will be bigger and heavier to accomplish new scientific and exploratory goals....
