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 ...

NASA fired up a prototype of its electromagnetic thruster inside a vacuum chamber, reaching power levels of up to 120 kilowatts—the highest achieved in U.S. tests of an electric propulsion system.

MALIBU, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- HRL Laboratories, LLC has demonstrated proof-of-concept on a unique approach to achieve a silent pumping system that replaces traditional mechanical moving parts with ...

The company has partnered with another Boston-based start-up, Maglev Aero, to replace electric motors. Transcend Air plans to install MagLev Aero's HyperDrive magnetic levitation technology as part of ...

Up, up, and away! That's the flight sequence for most commercially available drones. However, for drones powered by Aerix Systems’ proprietary omnidirectional propulsion technology, a more fitting ...

DNA base pairing snaps magnetic Janus nanoparticles and enzyme-loaded polymersomes into modular nanorobots that can be steered, tracked, and magnetically recovered for repeated catalytic cycles.

Stealth drone debut: DARPA’s XRQ-73 hybrid-electric UAV flew in April, aiming for quieter, harder-to-detect surveillance missions under the SHEPARD program. Record electric thruster: NASA tested a ...
