In this work, single-light-actuated dual-mode propulsion at the liquid/air interface is realized by using flexible, superhydrophobic, and thermostable photothermal paper made from flexible ultralong ...

An integrated modeling approach is presented for the conceptual design of electric aircraft propulsors, with application to NASA’s hydrogen fuel-cell-powered transport aircraft concept, being ...

News18 offers a closer look at the space station where astronauts spend weeks or months living, working, and conducting ...

Psyche's solar-electric propulsion system is more fuel-efficient than conventional rocket thrusters, and it works by flowing xenon through an electromagnetic field, which ionizes the gas and ...

Engineers used a co-design approach to determine optimal turbine placement and cooling strategies. The real-time AI feedback loop allows the robot to navigate flight with human-like balance, despite ...

HOUSTON—NASA’s Psyche mission spacecraft has resumed solar electric propulsion operations after being successfully switched to a backup fuel line. The solar-powered asteroid probe’s four ...

Discover how NASA’s MARVL project is revolutionizing Mars missions with robot-assembled nuclear propulsion systems built in ...

Ion channels are integral membrane protein assemblies that modulate the flow of ions into and out of a cell or organelle, leading to generation of electrical signals. Opening (gating) of ion ...

Berg Propulsion chose The Switch to supply each vessel with two large DC-Hubs responsible for the main power distribution on board and two PMM1000 propulsion machines.

Dutch startup Maeve Aerospace has redesigned its planned hybrid-electric regional aircraft to target the replacement of today’s regional jets beginning around the middle of the next decade. The ...

A deeper understanding of the mechanisms initiating cathode failure will improve the thruster operation, increase the lifetime, and ultimately reduce the cost. In this paper, we present the results of ...
