Diesel and gasoline emissions have become some of the leading concerns regarding greenhouse gases and global climate change. While diesel engines are more efficient than gasoline-powered engines, they ...

We are at a critical time and supporting science journalism is more important than ever. Science News and our parent organization, the Society for Science, need your help to strengthen scientific ...

One of the cool things about working at Argonne National Laboratory is exploring new ideas. I've worked on a lot of combustion technologies, including hydrogen, but right now I'm doing something ...

Cold fusion, despite probably being impossible, is a good idea. Take a process known to create a meaningful amount of power and remove the harmful byproducts (like explosions), and you've got a winner ...

On August 9, 1898, Rudolf Diesel was issued a patent for his diesel internal combustion engine, a competitor to the gasoline engine at the time (see figure below from patent). Armed with an education ...

Researchers have developed a promising yet surprisingly simple modification to diesel engines that could hold the key to reducing the complexity, maintenance, and size and weight of emission ...
