A wild idea has been proposed to generate electric power from Earth’s rotation with the help of magnetic fields. A new ...
The “caterpillar drive” in The Hunt for Red October allowed the sub to travel virtually undetected through the ocean, but real examples of magnetohydrodynamic drives (MHDs) are rare.
A trio of physicists from Princeton University, CIT's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Spectral Sensor Solutions, all in the U.S ...
While Nasa’s budgetary struggle continues, the red planet may be a step closer for China after it unveiled a powerful new ...
Rosatom’s propulsion system uses a magnetic plasma accelerator, which it hopes will reduce space travel time. Mars is 140 million miles from Earth, meaning a 30-day journey would require an ...
The asymmetric decomposition of the fuel creates a concentration gradient around the particle, leading to self-diffusiophoresis and propulsion. Magnetic nanoswimmers are powered by external magnetic ...
