Liquid-fuel engines have been the preferred choice for rockets, but a new technology called rotating detonation engines (RDE) is emerging.

RDEs detonate fuel instead of burning it, leading to higher energy release, increased thrust, and potential for powering vehicles farther and faster. [ more ]

Developing a rocket system like Ariane 6 involves more than just creating the rocket itself; it includes engines, fuel, launchpad, and a manufacturing network, which took a decade amidst challenges like a global pandemic. [ more ]

Astronauts need rockets that obey Isaac Newton's laws to overcome Earth's gravity and reach space. [ more ]

AI researchers at Stanford are collecting data from computational fluid dynamics to create a dataset for rocket science, oceanography, and climate modeling.

They hope to use this dataset to advance these scientific fields in the same way web-scale data advanced language processing.

This project demonstrates the potential of AI and data collection to revolutionize scientific research. [ more ]

AI researchers at Stanford are using data from computational fluid dynamics to advance rocket science, oceanography, and climate modeling.

They aim to create a single dataset that can revolutionize these fields similar to how web-scale data revolutionized language.

The project could lead to breakthroughs in understanding complex fluid dynamics and improving predictions in various domains. [ more ]
