NASA might rely on giant laboratories and factories to build its rocket engines, but all you need is a piece of pasta, a jar, some hydrogen peroxide, and a little yeast. Oh, and fire.

Science Space How 3D-Printing Rocket Engines Could Win Back The Space Race Rapid manufacturing methods may eliminate dependence on Russian rockets Clay Dillow Updated May 28, 2021 2:40 AM EDT ...

But a new type of engine — called a rotating detonation engine — promises to make rockets not only more fuel-efficient but also more lightweight and less complicated to construct.

3D printing a lightweight, high performance rocket engine One thing that Rocket Lab has become renowned for is its use of 3D printing techniques to manufacture its Rutherford rocket engine. This ...

Engineers at the University of Washington are working on a new type of rocket engine that holds the promise of being lighter, more efficient, and simpler to make than conventional liquid-fuel ...

You've likely watched space shuttles launch using massive rockets, but how exactly do the rockets that are the backbone of space exploration work?

University of Washington researchers have developed a mathematical model that describes how rotating detonation engines work.

For the first time, scientists built and tested an experimental rocket engine that's powered by a constantly-spiraling explosion.

One of the first issues Mueller had to address was how to build a turbopump. In the late 1990s, NASA had developed a rocket engine nearly as powerful as the proposed Merlin engine called Fastrac.
