A space thruster using superconducting magnets completed its first orbital tests and could someday propel spacecraft using ...
Centrifugal Magnetic Mirrors could enable commercial nuclear fusion reactors on Earth and are also promising for next level propulsion in space. There is funded near term work for both goals. An early ...
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. The US Navy’s ...
MagLev Aero debuted HyperDrive, a breakthrough magnetic levitation (MagLev) propulsion system for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft at the Paris Air Show, aiming for dramatically ...
Space has a trash problem, with defunct satellites, rockets, and smaller broken bits orbiting Earth at high speeds. The amount of space junk is only increasing, raising the risk of collision with ...
