Researchers have reduced the size of steam turbines using supercritical CO₂ as a medium, hinting at smaller power plants.

A Japanese rocket by startup Space One has exploded in spectacular fashion following a launch attempt earlier today.

It’s yet another major setback for the company, which was hoping to become Japan’s first commercial entity to launch a satellite into orbit, the New York Times reports.

Drone footage shows the dramatic scene. At first, everything appears to go fine as the solid-fuel rocket dubbed Kairos lights its engines. But it doesn’t take long for the rocket to seemingly veer off path, erupting into a massive cloud of smoke just seconds later, causing major pieces of debris to rain down on the launch pad and engulf parts of the facility and a neighboring forest in flames.

Flames exhibit a spectrum of colors, ranging from yellow and orange to red, blue, and violet. Discover which hue denotes the highest temperature.

Invisible to the naked eye, an entire ecosystem buzzes with bioenergy.

Invisible vacuum energy is all around us. We could use it to power propulsion, enhance nanostructures, and build levitating devices.

Space may be the final frontier, but we can’t go far on rocket fuel. Now, two scientists are working on a device that may one day make the \.

A hydrogen fuel-cell passenger train developed by Swiss rail vehicle maker Stadler Rail has achieved a new Guinness World Record, traveling for almost two days around the clock for a distance of 1,741.7 miles.

Efforts to clean up dirty trains are already well underway, with heavy investment in electrifying networks around the world as well as rolling out battery-electric locomotives such as the FLXDrive, the Blues train and the Flirt Akku.

It ‘flies’ in a figure-of-8 pattern against the tidal flow.

The World Economic Forum’s Clean Power, Grids and Electrification initiative is focused on delivering a rapid and responsible energy transition.

The startup emerged from stealth with a goal of extending the range of EVs while also eliminating fossil fuels from home heating.
