Achieving practical interstellar travel requires overcoming the immense challenge of reaching extraordinary velocities. To send a spacecraft, weighing roughly 1,000 kilograms, to a neighboring star ...

Russia is extensively testing a new plasma based rocket engine that will use charged hydrogen particles to gain turbulent ...

group published a report by scientist Chris Limbach on a proton beam propulsion system. The proposed proton beam is called ...

While an antimatter engine is very far off, researching it could yield other discoveries as well.

Once this division has occurred, researchers must suspend the antimatter particle so it doesn’t ... out an order of priorities for antimatter propulsion research going forward.

These vehicles rely on propulsion systems that generate immense thrust to overcome Earth's gravitational pull and achieve the necessary velocity for orbital insertion or interplanetary travel.

Sunbeam’s calculations show it could propel probes up to 1,000 AU from Earth, far outlasting traditional laser propulsion methods ... feasible with today’s particle accelerator technology ...

In 2013 the Jesse H. Neal award for Best Technical Content was awarded to Guy Norris and Graham Warwick for their Advanced Propulsion feature. He received the 2015 Lauren D. Lyman Award for ...

Chemical propulsion is one of the most widely studied mechanisms for nanoswimmers. In this approach, the nanoswimmer is typically designed as a Janus particle, with two distinct surface properties.

He has previous research experience modelling advanced electric propulsion devices using particle in cell methods. When not working, you are likely to find Matthew running up a mountain.
