   Humans depend on fossil fuels as their primary energy source, especially in transportation. However, fossil fuels are both unsustainable and unsafe, serving as the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions. Researchers in China have demonstrated a prototype device that uses microwave air plasmas fo... Read more

   Everyone is used to perceiving ion engines as science fiction items. But they have been successfully operating in space for 50 years. So why haven’t they replaced chemical ones yet?
