Burning structures and propagation mechanisms of nanothermites by Kim, Suyong, Johns, Averitt A, Wen, John Z, Deng, Sili

“…In this work, a high-speed microscopy imaging system was used to reveal the burning structure of Al/CuO nanothermites and to investigate the propagation mechanism of its flame front at micron and sub-millimeter scales which have not been studied. An Al/CuO nanothermite film was fabricated as a model structure. …”

Stories of the Sky by Chen, Zhanyi

“…My experience receiving image signals from the Russian weather satellite Meteor-M2 has led me to understand the pervasive presence of satellites and their silent integration into, and control over, various environments—similar to numerous other contemporary infrastructures. The sky has never been merely a smooth surface but is striated with all kinds of machines, politics, and power dynamics. …”
