Los Alamos National Laboratory researchers are reporting that mathematical modeling can show how to safely blend hydrogen with natural gas for transport in existing pipeline systems. A secure and reliable transition to hydrogen is one of the proposed solutions for the shift to a net-zero-carbon economy. Anatoly Zlotnik, a co-author of a new paper on […]

A Penn State research team is exploring the requirements for electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) vehicles and designing and testing potential battery power sources. So far, jet packs, robot maids and flying cars were all promised for the 21st century. Chao-Yang Wang, holder of the William E. Diefender Chair of Mechanical Engineering and director […]

If travel to distant stars within an individual’s lifetime is going to be possible, a means of faster-than-light propulsion will have to be found. So far, even recent research about faster-than-light transport based on Einstein’s theory of general relativity would require vast amounts of hypothetical particles and states of matter that have ‘exotic’ physical properties […]

Oak Ridge National Lab researchers are accelerating a research engine that gives scientists and engineers an unprecedented view inside the atomic-level workings of combustion engines in real time. The effort seeks to support advanced vehicles with higher energy efficiency and ultra-low emissions. The new capability is an engine built specifically to run inside a neutron […]

The method, outlined in the journal Green Chemistry, addresses the enormous […]
