Data center logistics are becoming harder and harder to fathom as the centralization of compute power continues to scale beyond all reasonable proportions. We've reported extensively on the incredible ...

Welcome to Edition 8.21 of the Rocket Report! We’re back after the Thanksgiving holiday with more launch news. Most of the big stories over the last couple of weeks came from abroad. Russian rockets ...

Modern engines face high failure rates, prompting massive recalls from major automakers. Downsizing, turbochargers, and thin oils increase engine stress and vulnerability to defects. Automakers need ...

The rocket engines that powered earlier missions couldn’t meet the demands of modern spaceflight. Failures, near-misses, and structural fatigue pushed NASA toward a complete redesign. Reinventing the ...

Veteran Bay Area biomedical CEO Paul Hastings had to lay off five dozen employees at his company earlier this year, thanks, he said, to what he described as the Trump administration’s attacks on ...

The Gordon Murray T.50 has the highest specific output of any street car, generating a whopping 165 horsepower per liter of engine displacement. This is what we motorcyclists would call utterly boring ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Stirling engines, which have been around for centuries, leverage temperature differentials in a gas to do light mechanical work. A new study ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Scientists created an engine made of only silica particles suspended an electric field, and cranked temperatures up high enough to rival the Sun’s ...

There was a time when Russia and the United States were in a highly competitive race to the moon. But the 1960s came and went, with America emerging as the pioneer of space travel. The U.S. is still ...
