Stirling engines, with their high conversion efficiency and excellent adaptability to various heat sources, show significant promise in the nuclear energy sector. This is particularly true for ...

Refrigeration is commonplace in the modern era. We use it to keep our food from spoiling, to cool our homes and workplaces, and to keep our car cabins from becoming saunas. There are even specific ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Continuing this millennia-long tradition, scientists at the University of California Davis have developed a kind of Stirling engine—first devised by ...

NASA announced the results of its Kilopower Reactor Using Stirling Technology (KRUSTY) experiment, during a news conference Wednesday at its Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, Ohio. The Kilopower ...

This week, researchers from the University of California published a new study detailing an innovative approach to passive cooling. It can convert the Earth's passive heat into a small but steady ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

The Stirling engine also needs the temperature gradient to work, but its design means that this can be much lower, so it can run by setting it on a nice cup of tea. That's because it can exploit very ...

China has revealed what it claims to be the world's inaugural microwave weapon cooled by a Stirling engine. This innovative high-power microwave (HPM) weapon, reportedly powered by four Stirling ...
