Prof. An Tao from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has proposed a novel "precessing magnetic jet engine" model to explain the peculiar gamma-ray burst ...

Researchers have developed a real-time imaging system that can capture images of fast-spinning objects over long durations. Real-time monitoring of rotating parts such as the turbine blades used in ...

For more than 70 years, scientists and engineers have been baffled by the thunderous roar of jet engines — a problem that has ...

The design of present-day aircraft and everything related to them has largely remained the same for decades. A central metal cylinder with wings to either side, on which the aircraft's engines are ...

Generally speaking, developing a new aircraft takes a very long time. That means years, at times decades spent researching and testing everything that goes into a plane, making sure every bit of ...
