What Happens When an Airport Needs a New Fuel? NASA Is Asking the Next Generation to Redesign Flight
LNG aviation could force the aerospace industry to rethink not only the airplane, but the airport around it. For more than half a century, commercial aviation has been built around one powerful assumption: airplanes burn liquid hydrocarbon fuel that can be stored inside wings, pumped quickly at airports, and handled by an infrastructure already built…

Why NASA Parks Its Best Telescopes Where Nobody Can Fix Them
The Hubble Space Telescope was launched with a flawed mirror. Its images came back blurry, and the mistake became a national embarrassment. Then astronauts flew up and fixed it.

Why Advanced Nuclear Power Still Boils Water
Changing the reactor is only part of the problem. Electricity still has to reach the customer. Advanced nuclear power may sound completely different from conventional nuclear energy, but it still begins with the same basic product: heat. Ask someone what a nuclear power plant produces, and the usual answer is electricity. Technically, that is not…
