Delta Flight 1334 diverted after a passenger's backpack battery ignited mid-flight. No injuries reported; crew swiftly ...

Devices powered by lithium-ion batteries—including cell phones, laptops, vape pens and portable chargers—cause smoke or fire ...

The phrase "engage the ion drive" still has the ring of a line from Star Wars, but these engines have been used in space missions for more than four decades and remain the subject of ongoing ...

A Delta flight traveling from Atlanta to Fort Lauderdale was diverted to Fort Myers on Monday morning after a lithium battery ...

Airbus is dropping lithium-ion batteries from its newest jet due to concerns that regulatory uncertainty could delay initial deliveries of A350 aircraft.

Back in June, after installing a new lithium-ion battery into its ape-inspired RoboSimian and plugging it into charge, researchers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory had their lunches cut short ...

GameSpot may get a commission from retail offers. A spokesperson for Crave confirmed today that Jet Ion GP, a Gust-developed futuristic racer for the PlayStation 2, has been cancelled. The game ...

The crash of a Boeing 787 passenger jet in India minutes after takeoff on Thursday is the latest incident that adds to woes at the troubled U.S. planemaker.

A RoboSimian robot at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory blew up thanks to its lithium ion battery. What would happen if it went to space?

The pure ion jet was detected using mass spectrometry. Typically an electrospray produced from ionic liquids contains ions and other species of ions mixed with neutral molecules.

The 787 - also known as the Dreamliner - is the first commercial jet to rely on rechargeable lithium-ion batteries to power key systems. The batteries are lighter, letting airlines save fuel.

Usually this is air, whether cold air driven by electric propellers or hot air fired out by jet engines. Ion propulsion instead sends out charged particles or ions generated in the gap between two ...
