WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University researchers have created a software tool that is more than 100 times faster than other programs used by engineers to improve jet engine designs. The software ...
Looking at all the stuff surrounding Lin Kayser in his Dubai office, it’s easy to assume he’s a rocket scientist working on a spaceship to escape Earth’s gravity. Drawings, plans, and prototypes ...
From plasma engines that could turn months of travel into weeks to the first blueprints for ships that will outlive their ...
Rocket science got a bit more science-fiction-like as RocketStar announces it has successfully demonstrated a new ion drive that incorporates nuclear fusion. It's not the sort of fusion that powers ...
I’ve grown up with rockets that burn chemical fuel, but NASA’s next big leap in propulsion could make those engines look as dated as steam trains. By turning to nuclear power in space, the agency is ...
This advanced rocket engine design could one day change how future propulsion systems are built! Marshall propulsion engineers designed the Rotating Detonation Rocket Engine (RDRE) to differ from a ...
Engineers have built a modern Stirling engine that quietly turns the cold of outer space into steady mechanical power, using the night sky as a heat sink instead of a fuel tank. By radiating heat away ...
