This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.
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 ...
The Dragon spacecraft for Crew-10 was swapped due to battery problems, and the replacement spacecraft also had thruster issues that needed to be addressed. SpaceX is reviewing data from the recent ...

A fleet of at least 100 Northrop Grumman B-21 Raiders will increase the U.S. Strategic Command’s requirement for air refueling volume, a top Defense Department mobility leader said on March 5 ...
In this method, the coefficient measurement and force generation of electrostatic cylinder are both carried out on the thrust stand, thus eliminating the deviation caused by electrode posture changes.
The work, which was completed with the RTX Technology Research Center, marks another step forward for this novel propulsion concept, which offers high thermal efficiency and performance in a ...
