Sedna will reach its closest approach to the Sun in 2076, providing a remarkable space-faring opportunity that won’t come ...

Due to its low mass and medium impulse bit, the pulsed plasma thruster (PPT) is a suitable electric propulsion system for orbit maintenance and attitude control for nanosatellites. The PPT uses an ...

Abbott's Volt™ PFA System is designed to provide a new therapy option for people battling heart rhythm disorders such as atrial fibrillation Pulsed field ablation – or PFA – uses high energy ...

Magdrive was founded in 2019 by CEO Mark Stokes, a mechanical and deep learning engineer, and chief technology officer Dr Thomas Clayson, a plasma physicist and pulsed power electronics engineer.

The startup sees advanced propulsion as a kind of infrastructure that will enable the space industry’s continued growth in the coming years. Rogue and Warlock are designed to be reusable, using ...

Using water as fuel to travel through space—this is the challenge of WET – Water-based Electric Thrusters, a new research project under Horizon Europe coordinated by the University of Bologna.

New metal-eating ‘bullet’ thrusters could power spacecraft for near-infinite range Once deployed, or indeed built, in space, the new thrusters can be refueled on the go by mining asteroids ...

That being said, Howe Industries is developing a Pulsed Plasma Rocket engine design to have 100,000 N (73,756 lbf) of thrust and specific impulse of 5,000. We haven't seen thrust figures for the ...

Dr Kim, who created a plasma thruster design for the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket launched last year, said that currently spacecraft, once they have left the Earth’s atmosphere, are mostly propelled ...

The new thrusters can burn metals which are relatively abundant in space, such as iron, aluminium and copper, said Dr Kim, who created a plasma thruster design for the SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket ...
