Researchers at Penn State have developed a small 'thermoacoustic refrigerator' that uses sound energy to generate cooling, potentially replacing chemical refrigerants. The device operates near resonance frequencies and achieves efficiencies as high as 89% without lubricants or sliding seals.
Georgia Tech will focus on aeropropulsion and power technologies, bridging technology gaps for revolutionary engine components. The institute aims to develop innovative propulsion and power technologies, enabling NASA and industry to produce more efficient engines.
Recent trends in motorcycle fatalities show older riders are more likely to be involved in fatal crashes, often on rural roads. Over half of all motorcycle fatalities involve collisions with other vehicles.
Lawanna Harris, a NASA engineering technician, is working on a rocket-based combined cycle engine to make space travel more affordable. Her research goal is to reduce the cost of payload from $10,000 to hundreds of dollars per pound within 25 years.
