For Atmospheric Sensing, A Race to the Middle
Igor Bargatin, Associate Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mechanics, is solving the mesosphere’s air problem using light, with the help of nineteenth-century science. Bargatin’s team has cracked a century-long scientific barrier by using light to levitate materials much larger than microscopic particles. These devices channel sunlight into heat to create a cushion of air that allows a device to hover — a phenomenon known as “thermal creep” — as well as carry tools for scientific measurements.
