In the run-up to a pivotal announcement on the future of particle physics in Europe, Tessa Charles urges backers of rival colliders to unite around whichever project gets the go-ahead I sincerely hope ...

Researchers have developed a steam engine that's only a few micrometers wide. It works - although it does sputter a bit. (Image Credit: Max Planck Society) Researchers at the Max Planck Institute have ...

Researchers have designed a remarkably fast engine that taps into a new kind of fuel -- information. This engine converts the random jiggling of a microscopic particle into stored energy. It could ...

A tiny engine comprised of a glass bead zapped with electric fields behaves as if it is operating 2000 times hotter than the ...
