NASA and its partners have successfully tested a nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) fuel that could revolutionize deep-space ...

A new type of nuclear thermal propulsion reactor fuel has been successfully tested at NASA’s Marshall Space Flight Center, with hopes that the fuel could take humans to Mars in the not-too ...

more specifically into something called Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP). The concept requires a uranium nuclear core where atoms are split to release heat, and a fuel like liquid hydrogen ...

The best, in fact, the only, candidate for this is the Nuclear Thermal Propulsion (NTP) system or nuclear rocket. First conceived of in 1945, this is a rocket that replaces burning chemical fuel ...

But before that can happen, nuclear thermal propulsion (NTP) technologies still have quite a way to go before we could blast astronauts through space on a nuclear rocket. However, earlier this ...

Scientists have unlocked a groundbreaking way to produce clean hydrogen using microwaves, drastically reducing the extreme ...

The DARPA-NASA nuclear thermal propulsion project is extending its time frame for an on-orbit demonstration. Credit: Lockheed Martin A vision to accelerate U.S. access to cislunar space and the ...

Another innovative approach in ADN propulsion systems involves microwave-controlled ignition. This method leverages the unique properties of ionic liquids, which are effective microwave absorbers ...

Layer adhesion is one of the weak points with FDM 3D printing, with annealing often recommended as a post-processing step. An interestingly creative method for this was published in Science ...
