NASA Introduces the X-70 Fractal Experimental Aircraft

NASA has announced the X-70 Fractal, the latest aircraft in its X-series of experimental planes. The series includes the Bell X-1, which first broke the sound barrier nearly 80 years ago, and the more recent X-59 quiet supersonic demonstrator. NASA describes the X-70 as a

New membrane could reduce energy use in oil refining

A new membrane could make oil refining less energy-intensive by separating crude oil at room temperature. Rather than relying on a fixed pore structure, the membrane uses the oil itself to create microscopic filtration channels. In tests described by Science Daily, the approach reduced energy consumption by nearly 32%
