Creating a viable and efficient scramjet engine is not something that can be done easily. Experts from numerous countries have been working for decades on getting working prototypes up and running, but thus far most of their attempts have failed. Apparently, scientists in the United States managed to nail it, as the ... |

The Cape Canaveral Air Force Station (CCAFS) is at this point the home of two very important space vehicles, each of which still needs to prove its worth in a first test flight. If the missions are successful, then one of the spacecraft would ensure that uninterrupted access of American astronauts to the Internationa... |

The vast distances in the Universe constitute the main obstacles in devising and sending out space missions to other stars or planetary systems. Until mankind would have a permanent base on the Moon, from where to send out space explorers, we are doomed to have to launch all probes on rockets that burn massive amount... |

When civilian companies manage a breakthrough that allows their spacecraft to go to the Earth's orbit, and then come back to the ground unharmed, they are sure to let everyone know about it. This does not seem to be the case with the United State Air Force (USAF), which develops its X-37B project under the cover... |

NASA’s Institute for Advanced Concepts (NIAC) was at its time one of the best places to be, if you were an expert concerned with resolving space-related problems. Originally thought of as a means of scientists working together towards innovating the way we look at space travel, over time, the center became a pl... |

The Internet environment, as far as hacker attacks go, has come a long way since the early days, when a single individual would try to hack into a secure network just for the fun of the experience. Over the past few years, cyberattacks have become a very effective way of targeting an enemy nation, without actually ha... |

Forget about small spying devices that fly around by flapping their wings like they are defective or something, scientists say it is practically impossible to develop micro unmanned aerial vehicles by using moving parts. Instead, they propose a more Earthly approach such as powering small airplane-like systems, with ... |

During the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show, General Motors has demonstrated the Chevrolet Tahoe car, the same that used electronics to successfully "drive" itself through a 60-mile urban course, in November 2007. Its electronic revolutionary technology is so promising that it could lead to mass production vehicles tha... |

Raytheon Company has developed the first computer in the world that can adjust itself to the applications it processes. By adjustment I'm referring to its architecture. The name of this new technology is not the Terminator T1000, we haven't come that far, it's called MONARCH (Morphable Networked Micro-... |
