Other non-conventional solutions could work, such as nuclear propulsion or ion drives. However, they fall victim to the tyranny of the rocket equation—since they have to carry their fuel, they ...

By focusing this energy into a relativistic electron beam, the statite could propel a spacecraft over distances of 100 to ...

A coated particle fuel for nuclear thermal propulsion applications, fabricated by TRISO-X LLC, has undergone testing in extreme conditions representing those experienced in space. An artists' concept ...

In 2018, NASA’s experimental NASA Innovative Advanced Concepts (NIAC) group published a report by scientist Chris Limbach on a proton beam propulsion system.The proposed proton beam is called ...

Researchers have developed a novel high-energy particle detection instrumentation approach that leverages the power of quantum sensors -- devices capable of precisely detecting single particles.

Scientists Just Discovered an Impossible Particle Xuanyu Han - Getty Images Antimatter can produce more energy than anything else we know of, but it’s very fickle.

Researchers investigated the propulsion mechanism by visualizing water flow around a swimmer during underwater dolphin-kick swimming in a water channel via particle image velocimetry. Their ...

Accurately modeling particle movement through fluids is crucial in fields ranging from chemical engineering to aerospace. The drag coefficient, which influences how particles settle and move in ...

This means the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), the most powerful particle accelerator ever built, has given scientists a glimpse into conditions that existed when the universe was less than a second old.

Using the Large Hadron Collider and the ALICE detector scientists have found the heavist antimatter particle yet, generated in Big Bang like conditions.
