Cool-burning flames in space and better engines here on earth
San Diego CA (SPX) Jul 30, 2014
A team of international researchers has discovered a new type of cool burning flames that could lead to cleaner, more efficient engines for cars. The discovery was made during a series of experiments on the International Space Station by a team led by Forman Williams, a professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at the University of California, San Diego. Researchers detailed their findings last month in the journal Microgravity Science and Technology. "We observed something that we didn't ... read more
