Stoke Space has successfully tested its full-flow staged combustion engine, a high-efficiency propulsion system designed for its fully reusable Nova rocket. The test at the Moses Lake facility confirms the…
Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new class of zirconia-based ceramics that exhibit super-elastic properties. Unlike traditional brittle ceramics, this material can undergo significant deformation and return to its…
Researchers at HRL Laboratories have developed a method to 3D print high-strength ceramics using preceramic polymers. This technique allows for complex geometries that can withstand temperatures exceeding 1,700 degrees Celsius,…
Researchers at two U.S. national laboratories have developed a new metallic alloy that maintains extreme toughness and strength at temperatures exceeding 1,200 degrees Celsius. This refractory high-entropy alloy overcomes traditional…
Scientists at the Delft University of Technology have developed a new amorphous version of silicon carbide that exhibits extraordinary tensile strength. This material, which lacks a structured crystalline lattice, can…
Varda Space Industries successfully returned its W-1 mission capsule to Earth, marking the first time a private company has processed pharmaceutical materials in orbit. The mission demonstrated that microgravity can…
