The next time you pull into a gas station, you might think fuel efficiency is just about the size of your engine or how fast you drive. The reality is far more complex and fascinating. Modern vehicles ...

AI-driven data centers are fueling a nuclear energy revival, but stable US nuclear fuel supply chains remain critical to meeting growing power demands. If artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers ...

Students will use a calorimeter to measure the heat energy released by the combustion of various fuels. Students will calculate and compare the fuel values associated with various types of fuel.

Researchers have found a way to super-charge the 'engine' of sustainable fuel generation -- by giving the materials a little twist. The researchers are developing low-cost light-harvesting ...

An international team of scientists has discovered a way to store and release volatile hydrogen using lignin-based jet fuel that could open new pathways for sustainable energy production. In a new ...

A pyrrhic victory is a win that comes at such a great cost that it is effectively a defeat. Advocates for sustainable aviation fuel may have just earned such a victory. Nestled in the federal ...

Solid-fuel rockets are the dream weapons of military rocketeers. They have no pumps or valves to go wrong and are always ready to fire. Their big trouble is that they are harder to control than liquid ...

The sun is using up its fuel supply at an increasing rate, will gradually get hotter during the next ten billion years. By that time the earth’s surface temperature will be lifted to about 750° ...

Andy Weir discusses his science-fueled novel “Project Hail Mary,” which has been adapted into a film that opens in theaters on Friday.

If artificial intelligence (AI) and data centers are the engines driving the revival of nuclear energy, nuclear fuel is its centerpiece. The United States requires—but does not have—an adequate and ...
