With the increasing impact of climate change becoming more and more tangible, achieving carbon neutrality—net-zero greenhouse gas emissions—has become an urgent priority. The key is hydrogen, often ...

Physicists at the University of Houston have pushed the record for ambient-pressure superconductivity to 151 Kelvin, roughly minus 122 degrees Celsius, in a mercury-based copper-oxide ceramic called ...

Known as Cryoprop, the new demonstrator will integrate and mature a two megawatt-class superconducting electric propulsion system cooled by liquid hydrogen via a helium recirculation loop and ...
