This new propulsion system could rewrite the rules of spaceflight—not to mention completely defy conventional physics.

A new paper published in Nature details the creation of a new type of electrostatic flyer, which uses sunlight to power its propulsion system and achieve flight. In the new paper, a team of ...

An engineer who once worked with NASA says he has built a machine that can push against gravity without burning a drop of ...

Electrostatic control utilises charge manipulation to influence the dynamics of spacecraft without relying on traditional propellant-based systems. This approach enables precise manoeuvring and ...
