The next waypoint on Psyche's voyage will be a flyby of Mars in May 2026. Officials expect Psyche to keep that date, which is ...

Researchers have reported new progress in developing a liquid uranium-fueled rocket engine, a Centrifugal Nuclear Thermal Rocket (CNTR).

Scientists are working on a new rocket thruster which could open up “never-ending” deep space exploration by using any type of metal as fuel.

Xenon-fueled summit sparks debate over mountain’s future Some see a record-breaking ascent by British climbers who used xenon as a breakthrough, but others view it as the latest affront to Mount ...

NASA's initiatives to pioneer next-generation space technologies are also hit hard in the White House's budget proposal. If the Trump administration gets its way, NASA's Space Technology Mission ...

One of these designs, known as a Centrifugal Nuclear Thermal Rocket (CNTR), uses a centrifuge to turn uranium fuel into a molten liquid that heats hydrogen and produces thrust.

There's an issue with the fuel line that feeds the Psyche asteroid probe's thrusters with xenon gas. But we needn't worry yet, NASA says.

Four British climbers became the first to scale Mount Everest on Wednesday using Xenon gas, which helped them save several weeks that mountaineers need to get used to high altitudes, an official ...

A new mouse study shows a possible use case for the gas xenon — as a treatment for Alzheimer's disease.

This coupled model—incorporating neutron kinetics, thermal hydraulics, xenon behavior, and void transport—has been validated using experimental data from the Molten Salt Reactor Experiment ...

Deep space exploration might no longer be confined to sci-fi after scientists began testing a rocket thruster which promises to boldly go further than ever before.
