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 ...

Chinese scientists suggest they’re bringing space plasma thrusters down to Earth, with a new kind that performs as well in the atmosphere as others do in the vacuum of space. Using just air and ...

Microwave plasma dynamics encompasses the study of ionised gases generated by high frequency electromagnetic fields and their complex interactions with the surrounding medium. At the heart of this ...

The microwave plasma propulsion can have three times the efficiency of chemical rockets while having as much power as chemical rockets. Other hyper-efficient propulsion is far more limited in how much ...

Chinese scientists have developed a groundbreaking plasma-based propulsion system that operates without any fuel or battery, marking a major leap forward in clean energy technology. While the current ...

not-to-distant future a rocket propulsion system using microwave generators may help propel deep space probes across the solar system and beyond.
