The world tried to kill Andy off but he had to stay alive to to talk about what happened with databases in 2025.

Experiments show Josephson junction-like behavior can arise with only one superconductor, challenging the standard two-superconductor model. (Nanowerk News) Separate two superconductors with a thin ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Separate two superconductors with a thin layer of material and something strange happens. Their superconductivity — a property driven by paired electrons that allows electricity to ...

Boom Supersonic is putting its engine technology to work on the ground to power the AI boom, and help fund development of its full-size Overture aircraft. Jesse Orrall (he/him/his) is a Senior Video ...

A shiny gray crystal called platinum-bismuth-two hides an electronic world unlike anything scientists have seen before. Researchers discovered that only the crystal’s outer surfaces become ...

Superconductors promise loss-free electricity, but most only work at extreme cold. Hydrogen-rich materials changed that—yet their inner workings remained hidden because they only exist under enormous ...

A proposal to revise an E.U. law requiring carmakers to stop producing combustion engines by 2035 would offer some relief to automakers, but it sets back the region’s climate goals. By Patricia Cohen ...

How boxer engines work, why they’re not just “flat” engines, and a 120-year evolution traced from the 1899 Benz to the latest Porsche and Subaru boxers. Boxer engines feature flat, opposing pistons ...

MV Agusta revives a dual-crank engine design with a radical five-cylinder square concept, proving that internal combustion innovation is alive and well. The square engine layout uses dual crankshafts ...

We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. For much of the U.S., the concept of an engine block heater is a foreign one. Even areas like the mile-high city (Denver), which faces its ...

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 ...

Something strange goes on inside the material platinum-bismuth-two (PtBi₂). A new study by researchers at IFW Dresden and the Cluster of Excellence ct.qmat demonstrates that while PtBi₂ may look like ...
