"As global warming threatens the future of military and commercial aviation, a Chinese team of researchers with a vision to end fossil fuel dependence is making a big splash in the engineering ...

Chinese scientists have developed a plasma-based propulsion system that functions without any fuel or battery, which is a major development for clean ...

The world’s heavy reliance on fossil fuels, especially for transportation, has left a deep mark on both the planet and public health. Burning these fuels releases a flood of greenhouse gases, which ...

Compared to hydrogen fuel cells and battery-electric systems, which face storage, weight, and range limitations, Tang’s plasma engine presents a third, cleaner alternative. By eliminating both ...

Russian scientists at Rosatom's Troitsk Institute are developing a plasma propulsion system that could change space travel.

A trip to Mars may be in the books for future astronauts, but current propulsion technology will have them floating in a spacecraft bound for the Red Planet for roughly six to nine months. Considering ...

A laboratory in Troitsk, Russia, may have just nudged humanity closer to interplanetary commuting. Scientists at Rosatom, the country's state nuclear corporation, have revealed a working prototype of ...

Plasma accelerators utilise electromagnetic forces to propel ionised gases at high speeds, offering a unique platform to study both controlled laboratory phenomena and astrophysical events. Recent ...
