Abstract: Nanostructured materials with interconnected nanoscale structures have garnered significant attention due to the ability to precisely regulate molecular transport by tuning molecular-level properties and offering more functional interfaces for interactions compared to bulk systems. Through self-assembly, liquid crystal (LC) mesophases offer a route to achieve nanostructured polymers, a promising alternative to traditional nanostructured inorganic […]

Abstract: Micro unmanned vehicles, defined as 25-gram to 5-kg in weight, are increasingly being utilized in applications such as search and rescue or agricultural monitoring. Such vehicles are typically powered with lithium-ion batteries. However, vehicle operational efficiency and capability are often compromised by the limited energy density of these batteries, resulting in short operational duration. […]
