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 ...

Scientists have built the world’s smallest engine. It consists of a single microscopic particle, smaller than a human cell, levitating in a vacuum. By rattling this lone particle with “noisy” ...

Just how small can you make an engine? Two researchers from the University of Stuttgart and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Valentin Blickle and Clemens Bechinger, successfully ...

It sounds implausible, yet scientists have managed to create a functioning engine, analogous to a Stirling engine, just three micrometers wide and made of a single particle. The minuscule engine was ...

Research has shown that "hot" processes such as welding and high-speed machining can generate ultrafine particles (particles with a diameter less than 100 nanometers) that may be harmful to workers' ...

Diesel-fueled compression ignition engines display a distinct trade-off in particulate matter (PM) and nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions due to the nature of diffusive combustion. The modification of ...
