Urban areas account for 2% of the world's land but are responsible for 40%–70% of global anthropogenic, or human-made CO2 emissions. Quantitative fossil-fuel and greenhouse gas (GHG) variation tracking in a city's most densely populated areas is important.

Combustion studies are conducted in this two-test position facility specifically in support of the NOx-reduction research for the High Speed Research program

The days of the diesel engine are far from numbered, according to a Chinese company that has developed what is billed as the world's most efficient version...

In Korea, researchers at Korea Institute of Machinery and Materials (KIMM) successfully demonstrated an MW-class marine engine combustion technology using ammonia that reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 50%. The joint research team, led by Cheol-Woong Park of KIMM, injected ammonia at high pressure into the combustion chamber, achieving stable, high-power combustion with significant thermal efficiency. […]

A research team has developed one of the world's fastest single-shot laser cameras, which is at least a thousand times faster than today's most modern equipment for combustion diagnostics. The discovery has enormous significance for studying the lightning-fast combustion of hydrocarbons.

Auburn University researchers are working to reduce risks during spacecraft landings by studying thruster-induced plumes of dust and debris that occur during the landings.

In a new research perspective published in Environmental Science and Ecotechnology, a research team emphasizes that the key to a synergistic approach lies in understanding that carbon dioxide and air pollutants predominantly originate from the same sources, namely, the combustion and use of fossil fuels.

MIT researchers have designed a system that uses flames to produce materials critical to lithium-ion batteries. Their combustion-based method promises to be simpler, much quicker, and far less energy-intensive than the conventional method now used to manufacture cathode materials.

By illuminating a sample surface with short laser beam pulses, it is possible to film sequences of various chemical and physical reactions. A research team that included researchers from the University of Gothenburg has now developed the world's fastest single-shot laser camera, which is at least a thousand times faster than today's most modern equipment for combustion diagnostics. The discovery has enormous…

In Germany,  MAN Energy Solutions launched the €15 million AmmoniaMot 2 project, a research initiative aimed at developing a four-stroke, medium-speed ammonia-powered engine for maritime use. Building on the success of the initial AmmoniaMot project, this new phase seeks to enhance ammonia combustion technologies for shipping, supported by Germany's Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate […]

Did you know that in microgravity we are preparing one of the most promising fuels for the future?Microgravity is helping to find answers and models to refin...

Dropcoal, short for drop coalescence, is a research project that studies how droplets form in space and on Earth. The results will grant insights into raindrop and cloud formation, fuel combustion and interactions between materials, all with broad implications for industry and academy. They also play a crucial role in administering medicine to astronauts during lengthy and far-reaching space missions.

Recently, new areas of research have arisen because of environmental concerns since the Industrial Revolution that focus on vanadium cycling between the atmosphere, water and sediments. Vanadium has been widely recognized as a trace contaminant in fossil fuels, especially crude oil, due to significant vanadium enrichment, and can be released to seawater through oil spills or atmospheric deposition associated with…

Experiment will help researchers determine if conditions on the Moon might be a more hazardous environment for fire safety than on Earth.

Research on the International Space Station is helping scientists to understand how fire spreads and behaves in different environments and learn how to

Nissan Motor said on Sunday it would sell China-developed electric vehicles globally as it struck a deal with the country's top university to leverage local resources to accelerate research a…

Fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) are an eco-friendly means of transportation that will replace internal combustion locomotives. FCEVs offer several advantages such as short charging time and long mileage. However, the excessive cost of platinum used as a fuel cell catalyst leads to limited supply of FCEVs. There has been extensive research on non-precious metal catalysts such as iron and cobalt to replace…

Amid global efforts towards carbon neutrality, automakers all over the world are actively engaged in research and development to convert internal combustion engine vehicles into electric vehicles. Accordingly, competition to improve battery performance, which is at the heart of electric vehicles, is intensifying. Since their commercialization in 1991, lithium-ion batteries have held a dominant market share in most…

This week, a new report prepared for the UK Department for Transport found that electric vehicles are greener across their lifecycle than their gas-fueled internal combustion engine ...

Two Italian researchers have died after a solar-powered hybrid car prototype they were test-driving exploded last week near the city of Naples. The vehicle, a rejigged VW Polo, was ...
