Watching magnets morph liquid rocket fuel is hypnotically beautiful
This liquid rocket fuel becomes magnetised when near a magnetic field. So it dances and morphs when magnets are moved around it. It is called ferrofluid and it was invented by NASA’s Steve Papell to be a rocket fuel that could work in zero gravity due to its magnetic qualities. Magnet Expert Ltd recorded the experiment using […]

(credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute) If you look at a diagram of the Cassini spacecraft, the most obvious feature is the high-gain antenna used for communication with Earth. But it also has a second, critical function, acting […]
Liquid battery could last for over 10 years
Modern batteries aren’t hampered so much by their capacity as their long-term lifespan — a lithium-ion pack can easily become useless after a few years of heavy use. That’s bad enough for your phone, but it’s worse for energy storage systems that may have to stick around for the long haul. If Harvard researchers have […]
