Aerogels are among the most suitable thermal insulation materials for next generation textiles, yet they face an inherent structural conflict between high porosity for insulation and a dense network for mechanical strength. Herein, we propose a core-shell aerogel fiber architecture to resolve this conflict via a fu...

Nature has evolved a variety of anisotropic surfaces over millions of years. Inspired by them, many artificial anisotropic surfaces have been successfully fabricated, showing promising applications (e.g., droplet directional motion, de-icing, and so on). However, it is still a huge challenge to achieve the trade-offs a...

Global warming and urbanization have increased cooling demand, driving up air-conditioning energy use and electricity loads. Zero-energy cooling technologies are therefore essential for energy savings and emission reduction. Radiative cooling, as a typical zero-energy cooling technology, is highly influenced by environ...

Carbon fiber composites are susceptible to external threats during service due to their linear elastic mechanical behavior and brittle fracture failure characteristics. Therefore, accurate, timely, and effective structural health monitoring of carbon fiber composites has become particularly important. Carbon fiber ha...
