When your steam engine build requires multiple microscopes, including those of the scanning electron variety, you know you’re building something really, really tiny. All of the usual tiny superlatives ...

His Stirling engine was much safer because it worked on a different principle than steam. Instead of relying on the expansion of high-pressure steam, the Stirling engine is a closed system with a ...

MIT says its new thermophotovoltaic heat engine can harvest more energy from heat than the average steam turbine, at a fraction of the cost and using no moving parts. Huge implications for future ...

Engineers have developed a heat engine with no moving parts that is as efficient as a steam turbine. The design could someday enable a fully decarbonized power grid, researchers say. Engineers at MIT ...

Pratt & Whitney believes HySIITE-derived steam-injection technology could potentially feature on updated versions of the geared turbofan by the mid-2030s. Credit: Pratt & Whitney Seventy years after ...
