Chemical engineers have designed a fuel that ignites only with the application of electric current. Since it doesn't react to flames and cannot start accidental fires during storage or transport, it ...

Chemical engineers at UC Riverside have created a fuel that only ignites when electric current is applied. It is a “safe” liquid fuel since it has no reaction to flames and cannot cause unintentional ...

The newly developed fuel is based on an ionic liquid, modified to ignite only with an electric voltage, offering safer control over combustion. This ionic liquid fuel can be blended with conventional ...

A team of engineers in the United Kingdom has developed a rocket capable of traveling beyond Earth's atmosphere while consuming itself for fuel before burning up completely. The rocket was built with ...

Researchers are investigating a car fuel comprised of a liquid that is converted to hydrogen by a solid catalyst. The used liquid is then emptied from the tank and charged with hydrogen, after which ...

Ethanol: versatile liquid with medical, industrial, and fuel applications, derived from plants and used worldwide.

The battle for electric truck range supremacy is heating up — or should we say cooling down? A liquid hydrogen fuel system now in fleet trials in Germany boasts a range of 650 miles at a gross weight ...

Gaseous hydrogen is the default for fuel-cell vehicles, but Daimler Truck is experimenting with liquid hydrogen for large commercial vehicles—and it's a technology that has the potential to cross over ...

GE had a successful Mach 2.2 captive flight of solid fuel ramjet on F-104 which demonstrated throttleable thrust for evasive, ...
